Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Standard “Custom Authentic Series” Flame Top

Those looking for a 1958 Les Paul Standard with a flamed top and a lightweight body know how impossible that is today. This 2001 Reissue, however, may be the optimal solution in terms of value for money.

We are talking about a Reissue that was part of the "Custom Authentic" Series, the series that preceded the advent of the VOS. At the time, the '58s were simply cheaper '59s and comparing them with today's catalog productions (with non-handpicked tops like ours) we often find tops with more beautiful flames!
