58 Les Paul Standard The Beginning of the Burst

In 1958, Gibson parted ways with the gold finish on the Les Paul Model and introduced the “Les Paul Stan-dard,” a refresh that featured a center-seam maple top, red aniline dye back and sides, and a beautiful trans-parent Cherry Sunburst finish. While only that one color was available originally, exposure to sunlight and sub-tle variations have made each original example unique in color. Gibson Custom picked four beautiful sunburst variations for the new 2018 Historic Collection, each bringing out all the character of the unique maple tops. And just like the 1958 originals, the neck profiles on these Historic models are just a bit beefier on average

when compared to a 1959 – a comfortable chunky C-shape. Two new updates for 2018 include the inclusion of all True Historic-spec parts and, for the first time, narrow/tall frets which bring the tone and playability closer to the character of the originals. Available in Gloss or VOS (vintage patina, shown) finishes. Left-handed models

available as well.Specs
