Gibson Custom Shop 1958 Les Paul Plain Top Lightly Aged (Tobacco Sunburst) Overview

The 1958 Les Paul Reissue VOS (Vintage Original Spec) Electric Guitar from the Gibson Custom Shop has the great features, tone, and looks that made the original '58 Les Paul a classic, but with a plain top for "workhorse" comfort and feel. Features a maple top, mahogany back, and one-piece set-in mahogany neck with rounded '50s neck profile, nickel plated hardware, and an original ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge.

The Gibson Burstbucker Pickups used are historically accurate "Patent Applied For" replicas with an airy tone and unbalanced coils. A medium output Burstbucker 1 is used in the neck position, while the Burstbucker 2 in the bridge position has a slightly hotter output. Both have unpolished magnets and non-potted coils like the original "Patent Applied For" pickups.

Rare example of a guitar that has been aged in-house at Gibson's Nashville Custom Shop, the guitar has some very cool finish checking throughout the top, with some very light scuff and dent marks around the body. Dare we say 'Relic'? Otherwise identical to their Gloss or VOS '58 Plain Top offerings!
