Gibson Les Paul 58 RI In July of 1958 Gibson introduced the newly renamed Les Paul Standard. They hoped to correct Gibson’s waning sales of solid body electric guitars, which had been on the decline ever since 1953 when the company shipped 2,245 instruments. The 1958 Gibson Les Paul Standard reissue produced today by Gibson Custom is true to all of the original instrument’s features and characteristics, including Gibson’s traditional carved maple top and solid, non-weight relieved mahogany body. Gibson’s legendary 57 Classic pickups deliver all the subtle variations of true, classic humbucker tone by using historically “unmatched” bobbin windings and Alnico II magnets. Other historical appointments include CTS potentiometers, bumble bee capacitors, rolled crème-colored fingerboard binding, single-ply crème binding around the body, and period-correct switchwasher and jackplate. This guitar is a fantastic player with a lovely realistic Flamed Maple top. The 2000's were the good wood period of the Gibson Custom Shop and this one is a prime example. It presents a very realistic look just like a real faded 1958 Burst. The top has an aged look to it but the real secret is the tone and playability of this guitar! This Gibson Les Paul 58 RI is in excellent condition with a few very light dings and scratches. It is in overall fantastic condition. Inlcudes Original Hardshell Case.Features :
