Gibson Custom Shop 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue, VOS Iced Tea Burst

This gorgeous Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue in VOS Iced Tea Burst draws its inspiration from the legendary Les Paul models of the '50s, many of which have aged in unique ways that have become sought-after finishes as years have passed. This '58 reissue boasts period-correct specs built with modern-day technology that makes this Les Paul perform as wonderfully as it looks. VOS, or "Vintage Original Spec" instruments by Gibson are designed to allow modern players to experience the playability and tone of instruments from the golden age of Gibson.

Like the original '58 model, the body of this 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue features a two-piece plain maple top, over solid mahogany, with a 1-ply Royalite binding around its perimeter. Its neck, also cut from solid mahogany, features a fat, vintage-inspired C-profile that early Les Pauls are known for. On its neck, an Indian rosewood fingerboard is topped with 22 frets, on the narrower side, that allow the tone of the fingerboard to be heard slightly more than on most guitars. Aged cellulose nitrate trapezoid inlays sit between the frets, and the total scale length measures 24.75 inches.

In the pickups department, the 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue is outfitted with a pair of Custombucker Alnico III pickups, strategically wound by Gibson's Custom Shop to vintage specs. They're left unpotted for maximum dynamic response and harmonic complexity, and controlled by CTS 500K audio taper pots and paper-in-oil caps.

The hardware of the 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue reflects the Custom Shop's commitment to vintage accuracy. The tuning machines are Kluson Single Line, Single Ring, and the bridge boasts a No-Wire ABR-1 design. While the Iced Tea Burst finish of this instrument isn't as faded as some of the fabled pawn shop window Les Paul bursts that we've all come to love, it's still an absolutely beautiful vintage-inspired finish that does this guitar justice, aesthetically. 

This instrument comes with a deluxe Gibson hardshell case included.
