Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Product Overview by GAK

Wow! It's rare we get guitars through which leave us speechless! This is one of just 5 guitars in an extremely limited UK only collection from the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville. This gorgeous '58 both looks and sounds the part! A great classic '58 neck profile and a beautiful Washed Cherry finish which compliments the handpicked lightly figured Maple top. If you are looking for a collectable yet playable '58 then this is the one!

The UK Collection is one of the most exclusive ranges of guitars ever offered by Gibson's Nashville Custom Shop. It comprises just five sets of True Historic spec Les Pauls based on the 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959 & 1960 reissues. All sets feature handpicked tops and factory heavy ageing as well as an exclusive UK Certificate of Authenticity and 'UK' serial number.

With the True Historic range, Gibson Custom commits to a fanatic level of detail accuracy to bring you as close as possible to owning an original 1958 Gibson Les Paul. A double-carved and hand-sanded top and neck, hand wet-sanded finish, hand-filed rolled fingerboard binding, and plastics replicated from molecular-level analysis of original vintage parts headline only a few of the extensive and obsessive details found in each of the very limited number of True Historic 1958 Les Pauls offered. Add a pair of superbly accurate Custom Bucker pickups, re-created from precise study and measurement of original PAFs, and that legendary Burst tone is all there. You simply can't get closer to the real thing... than the real thing!
