What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Custom Bucker pickups Closest PAF reproductions Gibson has created
Carved maple top Impeccable feel, enhanced body contours
Mahogany body Rich, warm, focused sound; added sustain
Rounded '50s neck profile Rounded, fat-back neck shape

The '58 Les Paul VOS has a carved maple top and solid, non-weight relieved mahogany back with the aniline dye and with a one-piece mahogany neck that has a hide glue neck fit with a long neck tenon. It also has a '50s rounded profile with a rosewood fretboard. With the historic truss rod assembly (no tubing) and the ABR-1 bridge with the lightweight aluminum tailpiece, the guitar also has the gold top hat knobs with dial pointers. The pickups on the '58 VOS are Custom Bucker pickups with 2 volume and 2 tone controls with the "bumblebee" capacitors and a three-way switch with an amber toggle cap.

Gibson Custom's Custom Bucker accurately recreates the original PAFs of the late '50s, using Alnico III magnets and unequal turns of 42 AWG wire in each coil for that characteristic PAF "bite." These pickups clean up beautifully at the guitar's volume controls, while Bumble Bee tone caps assist in that warm, singing "woman tone" when you roll back the tone controls. To top it all off, the 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue plays superbly right out of its Custom Shop hardshell case thanks to a trip through one of Gibson's state-of-the-art Plek machines before it leaves the Custom Shop floor.

Features:

- One-piece rosewood fretboard and aniline dye
- Kluson Deluxe machine heads and Hot Hide Glue Neck Fit
- Custom Buckers pickups and Historic Truss Rod Assembly (no tubing)
- Accurate body and fretboard binding color.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I ordered this guitar for my 27th birthday. I worked with zZounds and they made it completely possible. They helped me with the purchase. I bought a couple guitars in the past from zZounds and own three Les Pauls. This is my First Custom Shop guitar and won't be my last. This guitar is amazing for performances and recording.
