Personal Reflection
This 2015 '58 Les Paul Standard Reissue, finished in a unique and striking "Olive Drab Green," is one of only 25 ever produced. The Gibson Custom Shop '58 Les Paul Standard Olive Drab Green an incredibly rare piece that combines vintage charm with a modern aesthetic, making it both a collector's dream and a player’s powerhouse. The Olive Drab Green finish has an understated yet rugged appeal that stands out among the more traditional Les Paul color schemes, while the aged nickel hardware perfectly complements the look, adding an extra touch of vintage vibe.
The chunky '50s neck profile is exactly what you'd expect from a ‘58 Reissue—a substantial feel that fills the hand, providing both comfort and a sense of connection to the instrument. Ben is a big fan of this style, saying, “The neck has that unmistakable ‘58 thickness, which makes it feel like a real classic. It’s great for players who want that vintage heft and something to really dig into while playing.”
 
The CustomBucker pickups deliver that unmistakable PAF tone—warm and articulate, with a full, rich character. Paired with the hand-wired Bumblebee capacitors, this guitar offers everything from smooth, mellow cleans to aggressive, growling overdrives. Ben loves the versatility here: “These CustomBuckers are perfect for capturing those classic Les Paul tones, from smooth blues to gritty rock. There’s just so much warmth and depth in each note.”
