1999 Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul TV Model
Introduced in 1954 alongside the Les Paul Junior, Gibson's Les Paul TV Model was a no-frills addition to the Les Paul line that sported a "limed-mahogany" (now colloquially known as TV Yellow) finish. The simple, slab-bodied Junior and TV saw a redesign in 1958 with the introduction of a double-cutaway body. Having graced countless stages across the decades since its introduction in the hands of guitarists such as Keith Richards, Joe Perry, Johnny Thunders, Brian Baker, and Billie Joe Armstrong, Gibson's double-cutaway Les Paul TV Model has become one of the most iconic electrics ever produced by the company.
Built by Gibson Custom in 1999, this '58 Reissue is a faithful tribute to the iconic single-pickup Les Pauls of the late 1950s. Sporting an upgraded Seymour Duncan Antiquity P-90 pickup, this guitar offers a powerful, full voice with excellent top-end bite. If you are looking for the "Tele on steroids" thing, this guitar has it in spades. We have outfitted the guitar with a Music City Bridge Savvy wrap-around bridge for improved intonation and tone. The neck profile is a little bit leaner than you would find on a '58 Les Paul, and is more in line with early '60 spec.
The guitar is in overall excellent condition and shows only relatively minimal playwear. The original frets are in great shape with just a bit of string wear and have plenty of life left. Set-up in house, the instrument offers excellent playability.
Scale length of 24-3/4", nut width of 1-11/16", 1st fret depth of 0.817", 12th fret depth of .910", pickup DC reading of 8.26k, weight of 7lbs 14oz. with original hardshell case.
