Exceptional Guitars

The Gibson Custom Shop embodies the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sonic excellence. Each instrument pays homage to the Gibson heritage through its precision, authenticity, and attention to detail.

The 1958 Les Paul Standard reissue replicates all the meticulous, historical manufacturing methods of the celebrated 1959 reissues, with a few faithful specification differences that give it its unique character. Like the 1958 models, it features narrow frets that showcase the fretboard wood more effectively. Its thick, rounded neck profile offers optimal playing comfort and excellent maneuverability for bends. Finally, its beautiful flamed maple top is unique and full of character. Available in a variety of classic sunburst finishes.
