A Limited Edition 1958 Les Paul Reissue with timeless appeal

The Limited Edition Collection from Gibson Custom celebrates some of the most beloved instruments ever made, inspired by years of Made to Measure orders and the vision of the Custom Shop’s craftspeople. This 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue with Light Figured Maple Top continues that tradition with a build that captures the essence of the late 50s while offering a unique finish and character all its own. Dressed in the striking Athens Burst Light Aged finish, it evokes the warm, open look of a well-played original and carries all the hallmarks of the first Golden Age of Gibson craftsmanship.

The body is built from one-piece lightweight mahogany paired with a two-piece light-figured maple top, a combination that delivers the resonance, attack, and clarity that define a great late 50s Les Paul. Single-ply top binding completes the understated elegance of the 1958 aesthetic, while the Light Aged nitrocellulose lacquer finish, courtesy of the artisans of the Murphy Lab, reflects the heavy checking, extensive playing wear, and dulled sheen that only the Murphy Lab can achieve. It feels instantly comfortable and familiar, as though it has been nurtured by decades of music-making.

The mahogany neck, carved to the full and expressive 1950s Chunky D profile, offers a substantial grip that invites confident playing. Its long neck tenon construction enhances sustain and tonal depth, working in tandem with a rosewood fretboard fitted with narrow/tall frets and adorned with cellulose trapezoid inlays. A 12 inch radius and a nylon nut round out the classic feel, providing smooth playability across the entire 24.75 inch scale length.

Electronics stay true to the voice of the era with a matched pair of Custombucker Alnico 2 pickups, each with double black bobbins. They deliver the sweetness, bloom, and harmonic detail that define late-50s Patent Applied For tone, from warm neck position clarity to bright, singing bridge position bite. Traditional controls, including two volume knobs, two tone knobs, and a three-way toggle switch, offer all the expressive range and dynamic nuance players expect from a vintage-inspired Les Paul.

Period-correct hardware completes the build, including an ABR 1 Tune O Matic™ bridge, a Stop Bar tailpiece, Kluson® Deluxe tuning machines, cream plastics, aged nickel pickup covers, and gold Top Hat knobs. Each detail reinforces the instrument’s unmistakable identity, where craftsmanship and authenticity meet in perfect balance.

Every Limited Edition 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue with Light Figured Maple Top in Athens Burst includes a Certificate of Authenticity and a Lifton™ reissue hardshell case, underscoring its place within Gibson Custom’s Limited Edition Collection and ensuring it remains a treasured instrument for years to come.
