2006 Gibson '58 Reissue Les Paul with Aged Hardware - 1958 Historic
Reissue Les Paul with "the vintage vibe. This one has a very authenthic-looking plaintop and beautiful darkburst finish. The hardware is aged at the factory - We believe they called this "custom authentic" at the time. The factory "pre-faded" finish also adds to this look. Overall condition is excellent, but there is normal play and handling wear, as well as a few dings. This makes the guitar look more like a vintage instrument than a new reissue. It really exudes "the vibe" of an old Les Paul. That said, there are no wood cracks or anything beyond cosmetic wear. This is a really great Les Paul that plays and sounds great. The neck is full but very comfortable. Not as chunky as a 57 RI neck, but not as slim as many 59 RI necks. Pretty much perfect. The weight is a very reasonable 9 pounds, 7 ounces. Includes the original case (with typical cosmetic wear), the Certificate of Authenticity, and other swag that came with the guitar new.
