1958 Gibson Les Paul Standard

We are delighted to be able to offer this stunning 1958 Gibson Les Paul to the market with what must be currently the most attractively priced way to enter the coveted 1957 – 1960 Gibson Les Paul Burst/Goldtop PAF era. This guitar has had a life as many do and has undergone an extensive restoration by Yuuki McClure of Player Grade Vintage, which as you can see has made an excellent job of the restoration along with preserving the original serial number. The main work was to correct an altered neck heel profile which is now undetectable. The neck was re profiled slightly years ago as many did to a more 1960’s profile which is very comfortable to my hand and there is an evidence of an old headstock crack repair which is also hard to detect. We have a ton of pictures including before, during and after the restoration along with the full nitty gritty which we can happily provide for those seriously interested in this player grade Les Paul. The guitar of course sounds incredible and has sustain for days! To get the ball rolling below are the answers to the most common questions.
