2016 Gibson Custom Shop Hand Aged 1958 Les Paul Standard Historic Reissue Lemon Burst VOSThis Aged 1958 Les Paul Standard is an absolutely stunning and phenomenal Historic Reissue.  Hand crafted on the most accurate and detailed vintage specs available, then painstakingly aged to perfection by the best luthiers in the business.Nearly 60 years of light nicks, dings, and finish checking have been lovingly recreated to honor this iconic masterpiece. The top on this guitar is simply incredible and the hours of masterful hand aging and expert finishing have created a true vintage look.  If an outstanding aged Lemon Burst finish on premium select maple is your thing, you will have to look long and hard to find one better.  I'll just have to let the pictures do the talking.So how does it sound? Dickey Betts and Duane Allman bending their way into "Blue Sky" together for the last time, and the late Paul Kossoff stepping forward to begin his legendary lead on "All Right Now" come to mind. Warm, woody, rich, melodically articulate, and timeless. And what about playability?Perfectly balanced weight of 8 lbs. 9 oz. Super comfortable C profile late 50's neck that plays like butter and bends like a Tennessee river.  Definitely will make the wife or girlfriend jealous.These are getting more difficult to get your hands on and easily one of the best I've had in a while.  I will need close offers on this one.  It's that special.  In fact, just writing this ad has me wondering how to sneak it in to my own collection!Comes with the reissue case, Gibson COA, and all hang tagsFeel free to reach out to me directly at 678-936-8854 with any questions you might have.Best wishes always,Stu
