Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue Ultra Light Aged Electric Guitar – Washed Cherry Sunburst Gibson

Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue Ultra Light Aged Electric Guitar – Washed Cherry Sunburst

The 1958 Les Paul™ Standard Reissue features all the painstaking historic construction methods of the famous ’59 Reissues with a few historically-accurate spec differences that allow it to stand on its own. Like the 1958 originals, it has narrow frets which help more of the fingerboard wood to be heard in the tone profile. It also has a round, chunky neck profile for a full feel and maximum bending leverage. It has a beautiful plain maple top; each is unique and full of character. It also features Ultra Light Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged finish treatment, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of light play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era.
