These are super rare, supposedly left over “holy grail”
bodies. These are very cool Les Pauls. It’s really a Standard
54. It was mis-named by Gibson as a Standard 58.
This guitar is as collectable as it gets for the first reissue
Les Paul.

Only 25 of these were made in ’71; only
1150 combined for ’71 and ’72.
The only slight issue is that someone
put different tuning pegs on the
headstock, no additional holes drilled,
just shadows of bigger washers. Original
tuners put back on.
Has the rare, black-white-black plastic
diamond below the bottom strap lock.
Ever seen one of these?
This is the finest example of a 1971
Standard 58 you ever will find. Buy it,
sit on it, and wait….
