Description

This 1958 Les Paul Custom has rocked hard and lives to tell the tale. Chock full of 3 PAF pickups, this guitar descended straight from hard rock heaven. Its playability is unmatched, especially thanks to a new nut and refret. Moving up and down the ebony fingerboard is a breeze. You might cock your head at its unique tuners, but these are in fact original from the factory. In this era, when Gibson ran out of typical tuners for these models, they would use these Kolb tuners from Epiphone models as a backup. The shoulder strap button and switch tip have been replaced, a thumb wheel has been added to prevent post lean, and the ABR-1 wire bridge was changed. It retains all original electronics, and if you plug it in and crank it up you'll believe it. Cosmetically, it shows its years of play with checking, patina and finish wear throughout.Includes TKL hard shell case.
