Gibson Les Paul 58 Factory Burst ULA

The Gibson Les Paul 58 Factory Burst ULA has a traditional single-cut design, a mahogany body and neck, a maple top, and two humbucking pickups. Its listed specifications are appealing, but the high price makes missing details about the pickups and hardware worth checking before purchase.

Gibson Les Paul 58 Factory Burst ULA review

The Gibson Les Paul 58 Factory Burst ULA is listed as a 1958-model, single-cut electric guitar with a mahogany body, maple top, mahogany neck, and rosewood fingerboard. Its specification sheet also lists 22 frets, a 628 mm scale, two humbucking pickups, no tremolo, and an included case. The stated price is 6099, with no currency supplied in the product data.

This is a specification-based assessment, not a report from a hands-on test. No customer reviews are available, and the listed details do not establish how the guitar sounds, feels, or performs in use. Those points require direct testing. The information here is limited to the features and measurements provided.

Materials and construction

The body is mahogany, paired with a maple top. The neck is also mahogany, and the fingerboard is rosewood. These material choices define the instrument's listed construction, but the data does not state the exact grades, cuts, finish thickness, or manufacturing methods. It also does not specify whether the top is solid, carved, or made from multiple pieces, so those details should not be assumed.

The Factory Burst color identifies the listed finish appearance. The product information does not give a finish type or describe its gloss level, aging, or application. Buyers comparing this model with another guitar should check the actual instrument or a more complete manufacturer specification for those details.

Neck, scale, and frets

The guitar has a 628 mm scale and 22 frets. The scale measurement is useful when comparing instrument dimensions, but the listing does not provide neck width, fingerboard radius, fret size, nut material, or neck profile. It also does not give string spacing or a factory setup specification. As a result, the available data cannot answer how the neck might suit a particular playing style or hand size.

There is no information about fret wire material, fret finishing, or the access available to the upper frets. Those are practical points to inspect in person, especially for players who have specific preferences about neck feel or high-register playing. They should not be inferred from the model year or body shape in the name.

Pickups and hardware

The pickup system is specified as HH, meaning two humbucking pickups. The sheet does not name the pickup models or provide details about magnets, output, controls, switching, or wiring. It therefore supports identifying the pickup configuration, but not making claims about tone, noise behavior, or available sound options.

No tremolo is listed. The bridge and tailpiece types are not identified, and the data does not list the tuners, hardware finish, or control layout. These omissions matter for a full setup and hardware comparison. A prospective buyer should confirm those specifications directly rather than treating typical features associated with the model family as confirmed equipment on this particular ULA version.

Case, availability, and price

An included case is listed, while a gig bag is not included. The listing does not describe the case type, construction, or interior, so the supplied case's protection and storage details remain unverified. Sales unit is one piece, and the item number is 654257. The stated availability date is September 2026.

At a listed price of 6099, buyers will want to confirm the currency, taxes, shipping, and final retailer price. The data does not identify a country or seller, so the figure cannot be compared reliably with prices in a particular market. It also does not state warranty terms or whether any setup service is included.

What the specifications establish

The confirmed outline is straightforward: a Gibson 1958-model, single-cut guitar with a mahogany body and neck, maple top, rosewood fingerboard, 22 frets, 628 mm scale, two humbucking pickups, and no tremolo. It ships with a case according to the listing. The Factory Burst color and item number further distinguish this product entry.

The missing details leave important buying questions open. There are no stated pickup models, neck dimensions, bridge specifications, finish details, or measured weight. There is also no customer feedback to draw on, and no test data for tuning stability, intonation, playability, or sound. Those areas need verification from Gibson or the retailer, or an in-person inspection.

Verdict

The listed specifications give a clear outline of the Gibson Les Paul 58 Factory Burst ULA's materials, scale, fret count, pickup layout, and included case. They do not provide enough evidence for a performance verdict or a value judgment at the stated price. Treat this as a preliminary specification review, then confirm the missing hardware and neck details, the price currency, and the exact case supplied before buying.

Is it the right one for you?

Good pick if

A good match for players seeking a single-cut electric guitar with a mahogany body and neck, maple top, and two humbucking pickups. Also suited to buyers who want an included case and do not need a tremolo.

Look elsewhere if

Not a strong fit for players who require a tremolo system. Buyers who need confirmed pickup models or detailed hardware specifications should request more information before purchasing.
