Built using traditional methods, the Gibson 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue impresses with the feel and sound of the legendary "Holy Grails". Accordingly, the Gibson Custom Shop relies on a one-piece mahogany body with a correct plain-maple top, while the mahogany neck is glued with long neck heel and carries an Indian rosewood fingerboard. Here, the use of glass hard hide glue guarantees the optimal sound development over the entire instrument. Furthermore, the strong "Chunky C-Shape" neck profile together with the 12" fingerboard radius and the narrow frets provide for an authentic playing feel.
The two Gibson Custombuckers of the Gibson 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue are managed by the classic 3-way circuit with authentic oil paper capacitors.
Gibson Custombuckers for Authentic PAF Sounds
As pickup for the 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue the Luthier des Gibson Custom Shop relies on two Gibson custombuckers, which, with Alnico III magnets and unwaxed coils, prove to be authentic replicas of the legendary PAF-Humbucker. Accordingly, a lively acting Vintage-Sound is available at the guitar amplifier, which skillfully converts both clean and distorted songs of blues, jazz or rock with velvety basses, vocal singing mids and an airy treble spectrum. The pickups are also controlled via CTS's classic 3-way switching with separate volume and tone pots for each pickup. Authentic oil paper capacitors promise furthermore particularly smooth reductions of the treble spectrum.
