Gibson Custom Shop 1958 Les Paul Jr Reissue VOS Guitar
The Gibson Custom Shop 1958 Les Paul Jr Reissue VOS is a historic reissue that faithfully resurrects one of Gibson's most celebrated years, capturing every detail of the original double-cutaway Les Paul Junior that helped define the sound of hard rock. From the hide glue construction to the vintage-style wiring, this guitar isn't just paying tribute to the past. It is the past, only shinier and ready to plug in.
Raw Tone, No Filler
There's a reason the Les Paul Junior became a staple for hard rock musicians who wanted nothing between them and the music. The philosophy here is brutally simple: one killer pickup, one volume knob, and a whole lot of attitude. The Custom Dog-Ear P-90 at the heart of this guitar delivers a thick, heavy tone that cuts through a mix like a hot knife through vintage butter.
Custom Dog-Ear P-90 Pickup: A single P-90 pickup with a 500K Audio Taper Pot and Paper-in-Oil Capacitor setup keeps the signal chain pure and punchy. No fluff, no compromise — just raw, honest tone that practically growls on its own.
Streamlined Electronics: One volume knob and one tone knob. That's it. Gibson knew that when the tone is already perfect, adding extra knobs just gives you more ways to accidentally ruin it.
Wraparound Bridge: The period-correct wraparound bridge isn't just a throwback aesthetic choice — it contributes directly to the guitar's sustain and resonance, keeping every note full and singing.
Mahogany That Means Business
The 1958 Les Paul Jr wasn't built to be delicate, and neither is this reissue. Every structural decision from the wood selection to the joinery is borrowed directly from Gibson's original 1958 recipe. The result is a guitar that feels as solid as the riffs it was made to play.
1-Piece Mahogany Body: A single slab of mahogany keeps the resonance rich and the weight balanced, producing that warm, woody midrange that made the original such a staple in rock history.
Solid Mahogany Neck: Consistent with the body's no-nonsense approach, the solid mahogany neck provides a stable, comfortable platform for players who spend long hours on stage or in the studio.
Indian Rosewood Fretboard with Hide Glue Fit: The Indian rosewood fretboard delivers a smooth, responsive playing surface, while the hide glue fit honors the original construction method Gibson used back when craftsmanship was non-negotiable.
A Double-Cut Built to Reach Higher
The double-cutaway design of the 1958 Les Paul Junior wasn't just a styling choice — it was a practical upgrade that changed how guitarists approached the upper register. With both cutaways clearing the way to those higher frets, upper-octave leads become effortless, not acrobatic.
Double Cutaway Body Design: Both cutaways give your fretting hand open access to the upper frets, making it far easier to work those high-register solos without bending your wrist into positions that require a physical therapist.
Accurate 1958 Historic Reissue Specs: Every dimension, contour, and proportion has been matched to the original 1958 model. If you could go back in time and pick one up off the wall, it would feel exactly like this.
Custom Shop Hardshell Case Included: The included Custom Shop hardshell case keeps your investment protected through every gig, tour, or particularly aggressive jam session.
Gibson's Legacy, Alive in Your Hands
The Gibson Custom Shop 1958 Les Paul Jr Reissue VOS isn't chasing nostalgia for its own sake — it's delivering on a promise that the original made over six decades ago. Every cut, joint, and coil of wire is a direct line back to 1958, to the year Gibson rewrote the playbook for what a guitar could be.
For players who want an instrument that's authentic, commanding, and built to last a lifetime (and then some), this reissue earns every penny of its reputation. It ships with a Custom Shop hardshell case because great things deserve great protection.
Gibson Custom Shop 1958 Les Paul Jr Reissue VOS Features:
Accurate 1958 Historic Reissue with double cutaway design
1-Piece mahogany body with solid mahogany neck
Indian Rosewood fretboard with hide glue fit
Custom Dog-Ear P-90 pickup
500K Audio Taper Pot with Paper-in-Oil Capacitors
Single volume control for simplified, pure signal chain
Wraparound bridge for enhanced sustain and resonance
The Custom Shop Reissue is hand-built to exact 1958 specifications, using period-correct materials like hide glue construction and Paper-in-Oil Capacitors that standard production models don't include. It's essentially as close to the original as you can get without a time machine.
Absolutely. The single Dog-Ear P-90 pickup and stripped-back electronics are purpose-built for thick, heavy tone with serious output and midrange punch. It's been a go-to for hard rock and punk players since the original first appeared in 1958.
VOS stands for "Vintage Original Spec," which refers to the aged finish treatment Gibson applies to give the guitar a naturally worn look consistent with how an original 1958 model would appear today. It looks lived-in without actually being 60-plus years old.
It serves a very real purpose. The double cutaway gives players easier access to the higher frets, making upper-octave lead work significantly more comfortable compared to a single-cut design. It's one of the key reasons the 1958 redesign became so popular with lead guitarists.
Yes, a Custom Shop hardshell case is included with the guitar. For an instrument built to this level of spec, Gibson makes sure it has proper protection right out of the box.
