The 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue is built with the same historic methods as the '59, with the details that set 1958 apart: narrow frets, which Gibson says let more of the fingerboard wood into the tone, and a round, chunky neck. A plain two-piece maple top hide-glued to a one-piece lightweight mahogany back.
Custombuckers with Alnico 3 magnets, 500K CTS pots and paper-in-oil capacitors, a no-wire ABR-1, aluminum stop bar and Kluson single-ring tuners. Bourbon Burst, Iced Tea Burst, Lemon Burst and Washed Cherry Sunburst, VOS, in a brown and pink Lifton reissue 5-latch case.
