Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS, Ice Tea Burst #841990

Full Description

Historic Craftsmanship

The Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue is built using time-honoured techniques that capture the essence of the original '58 models. Every detail, from the long tenon neck joint to the hide glue construction, is carefully executed to maximise resonance and sustain. The solid mahogany body and two-piece plain maple top provide a balanced tonal foundation, ensuring a warm, rich sound with exceptional depth. With no weight relief, this Les Paul stays true to its vintage roots, delivering the full-bodied tone that defined rock and blues for generations.

Authentic Vintage Feel

Designed to replicate the feel of a well-loved classic, this reissue features a '50s Rounded Medium C neck profile that offers a chunky, substantial grip. The Indian rosewood fingerboard enhances playability, while the historic narrow/tall frets allow for precise intonation and expressive bends. The aged cellulose nitrate trapezoid inlays complete the period-correct aesthetics, making it feel like an instrument straight out of 1958. From intricate jazz voicings to powerful rock riffs, the smooth fretboard and comfortable neck shape provide a seamless playing experience.

Custombucker Tone

Loaded with unpotted Custombucker Alnico III pickups, this Les Paul delivers the legendary PAF-style warmth and clarity that defined the late '50s sound. The bridge pickup delivers punchy mids and searing highs, perfect for lead tones that cut through the mix, while the neck pickup offers deep, creamy lows with a smooth sustain. Combined with CTS 500K audio taper potentiometers and paper-in-oil capacitors, the hand-wired electronics ensure a responsive and dynamic sound, allowing every nuance of your playing to shine through.

Vintage-Inspired Hardware

Every component of this guitar has been carefully selected to maintain historical accuracy. The no-wire ABR-1 bridge and lightweight aluminium stop bar tailpiece enhance resonance and sustain, while the Kluson single-line, single-ring tuners ensure precise tuning stability. The Butyrate gold top hat knobs, silkscreened switch washer, and amber Catalin switch tip all contribute to the guitar’s unmistakable vintage aesthetic. From its meticulously aged nickel hardware to the period-correct pickguard and control covers, every detail pays homage to the original 1958 Les Paul Standard.

Aged To Perfection

The nitrocellulose VOS (Vintage Patina) finish not only enhances the resonance of the guitar but also gives it the look and feel of a well-aged instrument. The subtle ageing process creates a soft, played-in aesthetic without excessive relic work, ensuring the guitar looks like it has been cherished for decades. The Ice Tea Burst finish highlights the natural grain of the plain maple top, giving each instrument its own unique character. With its historically accurate construction and attention to detail, this reissue offers the closest experience to owning a true 1958 Les Paul Standard.
