1958 GibsonLes Paul Custom – Black
Here’s a monstrous-sounding 1958 Gibson Les Paul Custom in its original Black finish! This particular guitar was professionally refretted and fitted with a new nut to make a world of a difference playability-wise over the original “fretless wonder” frets. These new frets and low action make this Les Paul effortless to play, and the three original PAFs bring that thunderous tone they’re so well known for. The finish itself is original, with some light playwear and patina. This guitar had another set of tuners at one point, causing enlarged peg holes and some chipping to the veneer around it, but leaving no extra screw holes. The originals are back on the guitar now, and the peg holes and veneer have been cleaned up a bit, so it looks nice! If you wanted a ’58 Les Paul Custom but not at their regular price, this one is for you!
