Gibson 1958 VOS Les Paul Plain Top
The 1958 Gibson Les Paul is VOS re-issue of one of the most popular LPs. It has been made for the pro guitarist and collector alike using the new Vintage Original Spec as manufacturing guidelines. This doesn’t just apply to the cosmetics of the guitar but also the playability and sound as well. For instance this VOS version uses high quality CTS pots and capacitors for greater tone stability. VOS also means Gibson “ensures precise fret work and a perfectly cut nut on every guitar. Frets will be leveled, shaped, and crowned to exacting specifications”. When you pickup one of these guitars you’ll notice that it already feels broken in. The frets, fretboard, and body are just smoother to the touch.
They’ve also added the vintage PAF Burstbucker pickups as were used in the original spec. This along with the use of bumble bee capacitors gives it a truly vintage signal path. The body is made of a solid piece of Mahogany with a carved plain maple top with a single-ply cream colored binding around the top of the body. The finish is 100% nitro cellulose lacquer (just like the original) and is available in Faded Tobacco, Ice Tea, and Washed Cherry. It uses an ABR-1 bridge with an aluminum stopbar tailpiece.
The 24.7 5 inch scale length neck is made of a single piece of Mahogany. It has 22 Frets on a rosewood fretboard. The trapezoidal inlays are plastic/acrylic and not mother-of-pearl. They are meant to be accurate in size, shape, and color. The neck’s profile is the early 50’s rounded type with the Holly headstock veneer and vintage tulip tuners.
The electronics consist of two Burstbucker pickups in the neck and bridge positions. It has the standard two volume, and two tone controls wired to a 3-way pickup selector. As mentioned it uses CTS potentiometers and bumble bee type capacitors for a more consistent and reliable sound.
