Used 2013 Gibson Custom Shop Historic Select 1958 Les Paul Reissue – Historic Makeovers Aged, Standard Package
Condition Report
The folks Historic Makeovers do an incredible job of reshaping modern LPs to vintage specs, and this example sounds like Thor's hammer, has immense mojo, and is quite clean cosmetically. The frets show hardly any wear, and they have sprouted ever-so-slightly. The re-carved neck feels incredible, as it sits squarely in the Goldilocks Zone (not too fat, not too thin), and it exhibits supreme acoustic resonance that translates to big tone and endless sustain when you plug it in. To top it off, it sports a super cool wear pattern on its elegant black finish that makes it looks fancy yet dangerous--James Bond vibes! It comes with its original hardshell case, too.
