Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS, Ice Tea Burst #841546

Full Description

Vintage-correct tone and construction

The Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue is a masterclass in vintage tone and craftsmanship. From the carefully selected tonewoods to the meticulous construction techniques, every detail has been chosen to faithfully recreate the magic of a late-‘50s Les Paul. It features a one-piece mahogany body with a two-piece plain maple top, delivering the signature warmth, resonance, and clarity that defined an entire era of electric guitar sound. This tried-and-true combination provides a rich low end, detailed highs, and a midrange that cuts through the mix beautifully, making it equally suited to both lead and rhythm work. To ensure maximum tonal integrity, the neck joint uses a long tenon design secured with traditional hide glue—a hallmark of 1950s Gibson builds—offering improved sustain and structural stability that modern adhesives just can’t match.

Authentic VOS finish and historic detailing

One of the most striking features of this reissue is its Vintage Original Spec (VOS) finish. Applied using nitrocellulose lacquer, the Iced Tea Burst finish gives the guitar an authentically aged look and feel, right down to the gently dulled hardware and subtle surface texture. Unlike high-gloss modern finishes, the VOS treatment allows the wood to breathe and age naturally, improving tonal characteristics over time while giving it the worn-in aesthetic of a true vintage instrument. From the amber Catalin switch tip to the gold butyrate top hat knobs, every component is crafted to historical specifications. Even the pickguard is made from laminated cellulose acetate butyrate for period accuracy, ensuring this Les Paul doesn’t just sound like a ’58 original—it looks and feels like one too.

Custombucker pickups for vintage clarity

At the heart of the Les Paul Reissue’s tone are a pair of Gibson Custombucker Alnico III humbuckers, engineered to replicate the sound of the original PAFs found in 1950s Gibsons. These pickups deliver a smooth, articulate response with lower output compared to modern humbuckers, which means you get more dynamic range and touch sensitivity. You can move from warm, bluesy cleans to overdriven rock tones with ease, and the Custombuckers retain clarity and definition at every setting. The guitar features independent tone and volume controls for each pickup, giving you full command of your sound. Paired with a 3-way pickup selector, this setup allows you to dial in everything from punchy bridge tones to rich, velvety neck sounds, making the guitar highly versatile without compromising its classic character.

Classic playability with a '50s feel

Designed for comfort and performance, the '50s Rounded Medium C neck profile offers a satisfying grip that sits naturally in your hand, ideal for thick rhythm work and expressive lead lines. Carved from a solid piece of mahogany and topped with an Indian rosewood fingerboard, the neck offers excellent resonance and sustain, while the 12" fingerboard radius ensures smooth playability across the board. The 22 historic narrow tall jumbo frets give you precise note articulation and a vintage-style playing feel without sacrificing modern ease. Every detail, from the authentic 1950s no-tube truss rod to the nylon nut and Kluson tuners, adds to the period-correct experience, making this guitar a joy to play and a powerful addition to any professional setup.

Road-ready case and timeless legacy

To protect this beauty a brown/pink reissue case that mirrors the original ‘50s Les Paul cases in both style and structure is included. The five-latch design ensures secure closure, while the plush pink interior keeps your guitar safe from knocks and scratches. This guitar isn't just a collectors piece - it's ready to hit the road whenever you need. Owning a Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue connects you to a lineage of tone and innovation that continues to stand as some of the best in the guitar world today.
