Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS, Iced Tea Burst #841672

Full Description

Vintage-correct craftsmanship

The Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue is built using the same construction methods that defined Gibson’s golden era. Every aspect of this instrument reflects a stern dedication to historical accuracy, from the long tenon neck joint to the hide glue fit used throughout the body and neck. This meticulous attention to detail results in a guitar that resonates with authenticity, both in feel and tone. The VOS (Vintage Original Spec) finish adds a soft, aged patina that mimics decades of gentle wear, offering the look and tactile charm of a well-preserved original without compromising structural integrity. On stage or in the studio, this Les Paul radiates vintage character from every angle.

Iconic 50s neck profile

One of the standout features of this reissue is its 50s Rounded Medium C neck profile. This chunky, rounded shape fills the hand comfortably and lets you achieve excellent leverage for big bends and strong vibrato, staying true to the original 1958 design. The feel is distinctly vintage, with a satisfying depth that promotes better grip and hand placement without feeling cumbersome. Coupled with 22 narrow/tall frets and a smooth Indian rosewood fingerboard, the neck delivers a playing experience that’s both responsive and substantial. It’s the kind of profile that quickly becomes second nature, ideal for those who appreciate the solid, rooted feel of a classic late-'50s Gibson.

Authentic vintage tone

At the heart of the 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue’s sound are a pair of unpotted Custombucker Alnico III pickups. These pickups are meticulously designed to replicate the tone and dynamics of original late-'50s PAFs, offering a rich, open sound with just the right amount of bite. Their unpotted construction allows for greater harmonic detail and dynamic sensitivity, capturing every nuance of your playing. Combined with CTS 500K audio taper pots and paper-in-oil capacitors, the electronics provide a wide range of tonal shades - from warm cleans to classic overdriven bite. This setup gives you the tonal palette needed to explore blues, rock, jazz, or country with genuine vintage character.

Premium tonewoods and build

True to its roots, the guitar features a two-piece plain maple top and a one-piece lightweight mahogany back, providing the warm, resonant tonal foundation that made the original Les Paul a legend. The absence of weight relief means every note benefits from maximum sustain and tonal depth, with the wood’s natural resonance shining through. The maple top adds clarity and articulation, while the mahogany body delivers rich lows and a warm midrange response. Together, these tonewoods create a balanced sonic signature that responds beautifully to touch and dynamics. With aged cellulose nitrate trapezoid inlays and vintage-correct binding, this is a guitar that looks as stunning as it sounds.

Collector-grade presentation

Beyond its musical capabilities, the Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue stands out as a collector’s piece, complete with high-end appointments and thoughtful finishing touches. A brown/pink Lifton-style five-latch case is included, alongside a Certificate of Authenticity, reissue hang tags, and a Gibson Custom medallion switchplate. Every detail—from the Kluson tuners to the nickel hardware and aged butyrate plastics—has been chosen to replicate the original with stunning accuracy. If you crave peak Les Paul performance while maintaining legendary heritage, then this beauty has everything you need.
