Gibson Custom Historic 1958 Les Paul Standard Vintage Original Spec Electric Guitar (with Case)

In an effort to jump start the steadily declining sales of the Les Paul Model, Gibson abandoned the familiar gold finish and used a translucent, cherry sunburst finish which showed off the figured maple tops that were often used on Les Pauls. The renamed Les Paul Standard made its debut in 1958. Now part of Gibson's proprietary new Vintage Original Spec series -- the next step in their journey toward perfection.
