Classic appointments from the GibsonCustom store
The Gibson 1958 Les Paul Standard Bourbon Burst Ultra Light Aged represents the first vintage of the golden Les Paul era of the late 1950s, which ushered in the famous Burst models. As a genuine instrument of the Gibson Custom Shop no expense or effort was spared in reissuing this classic as faithfully as possible. In addition to a historically correct wood selection and electronics that have been recreated down to the smallest detail, this reissue features an authentic Ultra Light Aging Treatment from the Gibson Murphy Lab.
The Gibson Murphy Lab 1958 Les Paul Standard Bourbon Burst Ultra Light Aged #85051 represents the early vintages of the coveted burst era of the late fifties.
Hardware and Finish with Murphy Lab aging treatment
In addition to construction and sound, the coherent overall concept of the Gibson 1958 Les Paul Standard includes a successful aging treatment that ensures the right look and feel. For this, the Gibson Custom Shop experts at Murphy Lab, who skillfully apply an Ultra Light Aged treatment to both the nitrocellulose finish and the nickel-plated hardware of the 1958 Les Paul. The result is an aged but astonishingly well-maintained instrument with minimal signs of wear, which will accumulate further authentic playing traces over time.
Two custom shop-wound Gibson Custom Buckers with Alnico III magnets produce authentic PAF sounds.
Hand-wired electronics with authentic components
The Gibson 1958 Les Paul Standard Bourbon Burst Ultra Light Aged comes with hand-wired electronics that skillfully reproduce the sound and response of traditional models. Two hand-wound GibsonCustom Bucker pickups are used, which follow the classic PAF recipe with their Alnico III magnets and unwaxed coils. In addition, the treble roll-off of the tone controls is done via real CTS potentiometers and paper-in-oil capacitors, and Clapton's coveted 'Woman Tone' can be skillfully recreated.
The mahogany neck with a long neck foot and a strong chunky C profile evokes the classic Paula feeling.
Chunky C mahogany neck with long neck foot
The key to the success of a good Les Paul Reissue can be found in its basic construction, which is made up of a strong Chunky C mahogany neck with a long glued neck foot for a direct response with a long Sustain. The body, also made of mahogany, consists of one solid piece and has a two-piece maple top, which is finished with a stylish Royalite binding. Of course, a 22-fret fretboard made of East Indian rosewood with historically correct Authentic Medium Jumbo fretwire is a must for a successful '58 reissue!
