Full Description
View Full DescriptionVintage-correct construction
The Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS is built using meticulous vintage-spec construction methods that honour the original 1958 models. From hide glue joints to the long tenon neck fit, every element of its build reflects the techniques used during Gibson’s golden era. The result is an instrument that doesn’t just look like a classic - it feels and performs like one too, offering authentic tone and response that brings everything that made the original so iconic into the modern day.
Authentic tonewoods and finish
Featuring a 2-piece plain maple top and a 1-piece lightweight mahogany back, this reissue captures the classic Les Paul tonal balance—bright and clear highs paired with rich, resonant lows. The thin nitrocellulose VOS finish not only provides vintage aesthetic appeal with a gently aged patina, but also allows the wood to breathe and resonate more freely. Classic tonewoods paired with a nitro finish make for a truly unique retro playing experience.
Custombucker Alnico III pickups
Equipped with unpotted Custombucker Alnico III pickups, this Les Paul delivers the warm, nuanced sound associated with original late-1950s models. The pickups are carefully voiced to recreate the clarity, sustain and touch sensitivity of vintage PAF humbuckers. Clean or overdriven, they offer an expressive tonal palette that responds beautifully to your playing - the sound o the '50s is brought straight to your hands.
Comfortable vintage neck profile
True to 1958 specifications, this model features a rounded medium C neck profile that offers a substantial yet comfortable feel in the hand. It provides excellent leverage for bends and chords, making it ideal for expressive blues lines, classic rock riffs or articulate lead work. Combined with narrow/tall frets, the neck contributes to a playing experience that feels authentically vintage while supporting smooth, confident fretting across the board.
Period-accurate hardware and appointments
From Kluson tuners to the no-wire ABR-1 bridge and lightweight aluminium stop bar tailpiece, every piece of hardware is carefully selected to match original 1958 specifications. The use of vintage-correct materials like butyrate knobs, cellulose acetate pickguard and catalin switch tip adds another layer of authenticity. Each detail is thoughtfully chosen to preserve the look, function and character of the original models, resulting in guitar that'll look as good in your collection as it does on stage.
