Personal Reflection
This Painted Over '58 Les Paul Standard Reissue is one of only 50 produced in 2017, making it a truly limited-edition piece that stands out both visually and sonically. The Painted Over finish combines Ebony and Cherry in a unique aged aesthetic, complete with factory dings, checking, and wear that give the guitar a vintage vibe straight from Gibson's Custom Shop. The chunky '50s rounded neck profile and rosewood fingerboard deliver an authentic vintage playing feel, while the lightweight aluminum stopbar and ABR-1 bridge ensure great sustain and intonation.
The guitar has been upgraded with Slash Signature Seymour Duncan humbuckers, offering bold, dynamic tones perfect for rock, blues, and beyond. The original Custombuckers are included, allowing for a return to the stock setup if desired. The combination of its striking finish, limited production, and tonal versatility make this Les Paul a dream for collectors and players alike.
Ben described the Painted Over finish as “unapologetically bold and dripping with vintage character,” and he praised the Slash pickups for their “powerful, rich tone with exceptional clarity.” He also noted the comfort and resonance of the chunky neck profile, making this guitar not just a showpiece but a top-notch player’s instrument.
 
Condition Report
This guitar is in excellent condition, as described by Gibson's factory Aged process. The Painted Over finish intentionally features dings, checking, and wear as part of the aesthetic, all of which are factory-original. There is minimal additional playwear beyond the factory aging. The hardware and frets are clean and fully functional, and the electronics, including the Slash pickups, perform flawlessly. The Lifton Aged Historic "5-Latch" Brown/Pink Hardshell Case is included, adding both vintage appeal and practical value. This rare and unique Les Paul is a collector's dream, offering incredible tone and a truly distinctive appearance.
