Dynamic duo of humbuckers
The pickups on the Custom 1958 Les Paul are at the heart of its iconic sound. Gibson’s Custombucker Alnico III pickups, fitted at the bridge and neck, are carefully designed to capture the tone of the original late-’50s models. They produce warmth, richness, and a balanced response across the frequency spectrum, with clarity that ensures every note rings out—even under heavy distortion.
With individual tone and volume controls, plus a 3-way switch, the guitar offers impressive flexibility. You can select the bridge for bright, cutting tones, the neck for smooth, rounded warmth, or blend both for a perfectly balanced mix. This setup allows you to move seamlessly between styles, whether it’s blues, jazz, rock, or heavier genres, while preserving the unmistakable Les Paul voice.
Perform like a pro
Playability and craftsmanship make this guitar a true player’s instrument. The solid mahogany neck with a ’50s rounded medium profile feels substantial yet comfortable, while the Indian rosewood fingerboard with a 12" radius ensures fluid playing across all 22 frets. The long tenon neck joint, secured with hide glue, enhances both sustain and stability, highlighting Gibson’s meticulous attention to detail.
A two-piece maple top paired with a one-piece mahogany body delivers the resonance and sustain Les Pauls are famous for. The ABR-1 bridge guarantees accurate intonation and tuning stability, even during demanding sessions. With its stunning looks and flawless build, the 1958 Reissue reflects the enduring legacy of the Les Paul.
Peace of mind on the road
Your Les Paul comes with a brown/pink 5-latch hard case, offering premium protection and style. Its reinforced exterior, plush lining, and secure latches keep your guitar safe from bumps, dust, and wear so you can travel or store it with confidence.
A legendary guitar
Born in the early 1950s, the Les Paul quickly became one of the most influential guitars ever made. Its combination of mahogany body, maple top, and dual humbuckers defined a sound embraced across genres and immortalised by players like Jimmy Page, Slash, Eric Clapton, and Peter Green. The 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS carries this legacy forward, giving today’s musicians the chance to experience the magic of one of history’s most iconic instruments.
