This 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue with Light Figured Maple Top continues that tradition with a build that captures the essence of the late 50s while offering a unique finish and character all its own. Dressed in the striking Athens Burst Light Aged finish, it evokes the warm, open look of a well-played original and carries all the hallmarks of the first Golden Age of Gibson craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is built from one-piece lightweight mahogany paired with a two-piece light-figured maple top, a combination that delivers the resonance, attack, and clarity that define a great late 50s Les Paul. Single-ply top binding completes the understated elegance of the 1958 aesthetic, while the Light Aged nitrocellulose lacquer finish, courtesy of the artisans of the Murphy Lab, reflects the heavy checking, extensive playing wear, and dulled sheen that only the Murphy Lab can achieve. It feels instantly comfortable and familiar, as though it has been nurtured by decades of music-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mahogany neck, carved to the full and expressive 1950s Chunky D profile, offers a substantial grip that invites confident playing. Its long neck tenon construction enhances sustain and tonal depth, working in tandem with a rosewood fretboard fitted with narrow\/tall frets and adorned with cellulose trapezoid inlays. A 12 inch radius and a nylon nut round out the classic feel, providing smooth playability across the entire 24.75 inch scale length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectronics stay true to the voice of the era with a matched pair of Custombucker Alnico 2 pickups, each with double black bobbins. They deliver the sweetness, bloom, and harmonic detail that define late-50s Patent Applied For tone, from warm neck position clarity to bright, singing bridge position bite. Traditional controls, including two volume knobs, two tone knobs, and a three-way toggle switch, offer all the expressive range and dynamic nuance players expect from a vintage-inspired Les Paul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeriod-correct hardware completes the build, including an ABR 1 Tune O Matic™ bridge, a Stop Bar tailpiece, Kluson® Deluxe tuning machines, cream plastics, aged nickel pickup covers, and gold Top Hat knobs. Each detail reinforces the instrument’s unmistakable identity, where craftsmanship and authenticity meet in perfect balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Limited Edition 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue with Light Figured Maple Top in Athens Burst includes a Certificate of Authenticity and a Lifton™ reissue hardshell case, underscoring its place within Gibson Custom’s Limited Edition Collection and ensuring it remains a treasured instrument for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial #: 86432\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinding: Single-Ply Top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Finish: Light Aged Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Material: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Les Paul\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop: Light Figured Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight Relief: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 12 in. | 304.8 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFret Count: 22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: Narrow Tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlays: Trapezoid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoint: Long Neck Tenon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Material: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Material: Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfile: 1950s Chunky D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 628.65 mm \/ 24.75 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: Custombucker Alnico 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: 2 Volume, 2 Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: Custombucker Alnico 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Jack: 1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup Selector: 3-Way Toggle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl Knobs: Gold Top Hats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup Covers: Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic Parts: Cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTailpiece: Stop Bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning Machines: Kluson Deluxe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessories: Certificate Of Authenticity Booklet, Historic Reissue Hang Tags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: LPR5826LE23260\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Custom Shop Hardshell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings Gauge: .010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 8lbs 4oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eWe are proud to include a full professional setup to factory spec before delivering your new Gibson.
