Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features
The Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue is a faithful recreation of one of the most important guitars in rock history. Crafted with period-correct construction methods and featuring a stunning plain maple top, it channels the tone, feel, and look of the original Burst. The Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged finish adds subtle lacquer checking and aged hardware for a naturally worn-in vibe straight from the golden era of Gibson.
Loaded with unpotted Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups, it delivers the open, mid-rich voice that made late-’50s Les Pauls legendary. A chunky 50s-style neck profile provides superb grip and sustain, while the Indian rosewood fingerboard and historic narrow/tall frets ensure classic tone and playability. This is vintage reissue perfection, built for those who demand historic detail and unmistakable Les Paul tone.
Product Ref: 322701
The Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue is built using the same time-honoured techniques that defined the golden era of guitar making. From its long tenon neck joint with hide glue fit to the use of historically correct materials like Royalite binding and aged cellulose nitrate inlays, every detail reflects the precision and care of 1950s craftsmanship. The two-piece plain maple top is joined to a solid, one-piece lightweight mahogany body with no weight relief, ensuring the tonal integrity and sustain that Les Pauls are renowned for. This authentic construction allows the guitar to resonate naturally, producing a full-bodied tone that's brimming with life. Gibson's commitment to historical accuracy makes this model not just a tribute, but a continuation of the Burst legacy.
Adding even more allure to this already exceptional instrument is the Ultra Light Ageing process carried out by the expert team at the Murphy Lab. This carefully controlled ageing simulates decades of subtle play wear, including delicate lacquer checking, softened edges, and gently aged nickel hardware. The result is a guitar that looks and feels like a well-preserved original from 1958, with the personality and charm that only come from time. Unlike more heavily worn finishes, this Ultra Light treatment keeps the aesthetic refined and tasteful. It's perfect if you're after a vintage vibe with a clean yet well-loved appearance. It’s a beautiful blend of old-school style and new-world performance, giving you a guitar that delivers a playing experience that's simply unmatched.
At the heart of this reissue’s exceptional voice are a pair of Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups, designed to replicate the sound of original late-’50s PAF humbuckers. These pickups are unpotted, allowing for greater harmonic complexity and dynamic response, characteristics that defined some of the most iconic guitar tones in history. With a sweet, mid-focused punch, glassy highs, and tight low-end, they handle clean articulation and creamy overdrive with ease. You can explore everything from bluesy leads to classic rock crunch or soulful jazz textures, all delivered with warmth and clarity. They are the sonic centrepiece of this reissue - if you're a tone purist you can't go far wrong with these classic Custombuckers.
One of the most distinctive aspects of the 1958 Les Paul is its full, rounded medium C neck profile. This chunky carve gives your fretting hand a solid, reassuring grip that enhances sustain, control, and expressive bending. With a perfectly contoured shape this neck offers the ideal comfort for extended playing sessions while maintaining that much loved chunk. Combined with the Indian rosewood fingerboard and historic narrow/tall frets, this neck design captures the authentic playing experience of a late-’50s Gibson. Every note rings out with stunning resonance, while the tactile feel under your fingers connects you to decades of guitar heritage. If you appreciate vintage necks with a confident, old-school grip, this profile delivers in every respect.
This reissue is not only a player’s dream but a collector’s delight, packed with premium period-accurate appointments. From the no-wire ABR-1 bridge and lightweight aluminium stop bar tailpiece to the Kluson tuners and butyrate gold top hat knobs, every piece of hardware has been meticulously selected for authenticity. The instrument ships in a brown/pink Lifton reissue 5-latch case and includes a certificate of authenticity, along with a Custom Shop switch plate medallion and reissue backplate. These finishing touches elevate the ownership experience and make it a prized addition to any serious collection. You’ll find everything you need to appreciate this instrument as both a work of art and a performance tool built for lasting inspiration.
