The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Hand-selected mahogany body with carved maple top for the iconic Les Paul tonal balance. PAF-inspired humbuckers delivering thick, warm, endlessly sustaining tone. Set-neck construction for enhanced resonance and sustain. Nitrocellulose lacquer finish that lets the wood breathe and mature.
Keep the neck pickup volume at 7 with the bridge at full, then switch to the middle position - you'll discover a shimmering clarity and chime that most Les Paul players never explore. It's like finding a hidden third voice.
A Gibson Les Paul is rock history in your hands. From Slash's searing 'November Rain' solo to Joe Bonamassa's devastating blues tone, this guitar has defined what electric guitar should sound like for generations. The combination of mahogany warmth, maple brightness, and humbucker power creates a voice that's instantly recognizable and endlessly inspiring. Once you play a well-set-up Les Paul, nothing else quite scratches the same itch.

The Beginning of the Burst
The 1958 Les Paul™ Standard Reissue features all the painstaking historic construction methods of the famous '59 Reissues with a few historically-accurate spec differences that allow it to stand on its own. Like the 1958 originals, it has narrow frets which help more of the fingerboard wood to be heard in the tone profile. It also has a round, chunky neck profile for a full feel and maximum bending leverage. It has a beautiful plain maple top; each is unique and full of character. It also features Ultra Light Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged finish treatment, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of light play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era.| Body | |
