Step back to the golden era of electric guitar craftsmanship with the 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue, a meticulously recreated instrument that captures the essence of Gibson’s legendary late–1950s production. This exceptional guitar incorporates all the painstaking historic construction methods found in the celebrated ‘59 Reissues, whilst featuring several historically–accurate specifications that give it a distinct character all its own.
The 1958 model stays true to its original counterpart with narrow frets that allow more of the fingerboard wood to contribute to the overall tone profile, creating a richer, more complex sound. The round, chunky neck profile provides a substantial feel in your hands and offers maximum bending leverage for expressive playing techniques.
Each instrument is crowned with a stunning plain maple top that showcases the natural beauty and unique grain patterns of the wood, ensuring that no two guitars are exactly alike. This attention to detail and commitment to authenticity makes the 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue a remarkable instrument that honours Gibson’s storied heritage.
