2013 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul 1958 Reissue VOS (Washed Cherry / Plaintop)
Up for sale is a 2013 Gibson Custom Shop ’58 Les Paul Reissue (R8) in Washed Cherry, featuring a beautifully subtle plaintop and the VOS finish.
This guitar delivers everything players love about a great R8: big, open resonance, warm midrange bloom, and that classic late-’50s feel. The neck is the classic ’58 profile, and extremely comfortable up and down the board.
Highlights
- Gibson Custom Shop 1958 Les Paul Reissue
- Original VOS nitro finish
- Gorgeous Washed Cherry plaintiffs
- Solid one-piece mahogany body and neck
- Long neck tenon
- Burstbucker pickups (if yours differ, substitute)
- Vintage-accurate hardware and plastics
- Original electronics/no mods (edit if needed)
Tone-wise, this one is fat and articulate, with the warmth you expect from a great Les Paul but plenty of clarity and definition when pushed. Cleans feel sweet and round, and overdrive quickly turns into that classic wooly snarl.
