Key Features
The Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue is a tribute to one of the most legendary guitars ever made. With Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aging, it captures the feel of a well-loved vintage instrument, complete with a stunning Bourbon Burst finish.

Equipped with unpotted Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups, this reissue delivers the warm, articulate tones of a true PAF-equipped Les Paul. A long-tenon hide-glued neck joint enhances sustain and resonance, while the no-wire ABR-1 bridge and lightweight aluminium stop bar provide vintage-accurate hardware for perfect playability. From its aged nitrocellulose finish to its period-correct components, this Les Paul embodies the character and soul of a late-'50s classic.

The Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue is built using historically accurate techniques that honour the golden era of guitar making. Every detail, from the long-tenon hide-glued neck joint to the hand-rolled fingerboard binding, is designed to capture the essence of a true late-'50s Les Paul. The Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged finish gives the guitar the appearance of decades of light play wear, making it feel like an original from the moment it’s in your hands. With the classic Bourbon Burst finish accentuating the natural wood grain, this reissue is as much a visual masterpiece as it is a tonal one.
At the heart of this reissue are the Gibson Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups, meticulously crafted to recreate the magic of original PAF humbuckers. These unpotted pickups offer a dynamic response, with rich, articulate highs, warm midrange, and tight, punchy lows. If you’re chasing singing lead tones or thick, woody rhythm sounds, this guitar delivers the unmistakable voice that defined rock and blues for generations. The combination of a lightweight mahogany body and a two-piece plain maple top enhances resonance, ensuring every note is packed with vintage character.
The ’58 Les Paul Standard Reissue stays true to its roots with a '50s Rounded Medium C neck profile that provides a substantial yet comfortable feel. This chunky neck shape allows for incredible control and leverage, making bends and vibrato feel effortless. Narrow/tall frets add to the period-correct feel, allowing more of the Indian rosewood fingerboard’s natural tone to shine through. Every detail, from the nylon nut to the aged cellulose nitrate trapezoid inlays, contributes to the unmistakable playing experience of a genuine late-'50s Gibson.
Gibson Custom has gone to great lengths to ensure this reissue maintains the integrity of a true ’58 Les Paul. The no-wire ABR-1 bridge and lightweight aluminum stop bar tailpiece provide rock-solid tuning stability and sustain, while the Kluson Single Line tuners keep things vintage-correct. Every component, from the butyrate gold top hat control knobs to the amber Catalin switch tip, has been carefully chosen for historical accuracy. Even the electronics stay true to the era, featuring paper-in-oil capacitors and CTS 500K audio taper pots for the most authentic vintage response.
As part of the Gibson Custom Shop’s renowned Historic Collection, this reissue represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship and attention to detail. Every guitar is expertly aged by the Murphy Lab to ensure an authentic vintage feel, complete with lightly aged hardware that complements its worn-in aesthetic. Each instrument comes with a Lifton-style reissue hardshell case, a certificate of authenticity, and period-correct case candy, ensuring that it remains a true collector’s piece. The ’58 Les Paul Standard Reissue is built to inspire and perform at the highest level.
