Gibson Les Paul 58 Golden Poppy B ULA: technical review

The Gibson Les Paul 58 Golden Poppy B ULA is a single-cut electric guitar with a mahogany body, a maple top, a mahogany neck, and a rosewood fingerboard. Its listed specifications also include 22 frets, a 628 mm scale, an HH pickup system, no tremolo, and an included case. Gibson identifies the model as a 1958 model and gives the finish name as Golden Poppy Burst.

This assessment is based exclusively on the supplied specifications. No customer reviews are available, so there is no basis for claims about sound quality, setup, playability, manufacturing consistency, or owner satisfaction. The listed price is 6,099, with no currency specified in the product information.

Body, top, and finish

The body is mahogany, paired with a maple top. Those are concrete construction details, but the listing does not provide the body's weight, the top's thickness, or information about how the top is shaped or joined. As a result, the wood combination can be reported, but its effect on this particular guitar's weight, balance, or tone cannot be established from the available data.

Golden Poppy Burst is the named color. The specification does not describe the finish material, sheen, or the exact appearance of the burst, so those details should be checked in product photographs or with the seller. The single-cut shape and 1958 model designation identify the broad design direction without confirming additional period-specific features.

Neck, fingerboard, and scale

The neck is mahogany, and the fingerboard is rosewood. The guitar has 22 frets and a 628 mm scale. That scale measurement is the only stated dimension for the playing length. Neck profile, nut width, fingerboard radius, fret size, nut material, and neck-joint construction are not included in the supplied specifications. Buyers who have particular preferences for those dimensions should verify them before ordering rather than infer them from the model name.

The fret count and scale length provide useful points of comparison with other instruments, but they do not describe how the neck feels in hand. There is also no information on factory action, fret finishing, or setup. Those factors can vary in practical importance and cannot be judged from the specification list alone.

Pickups and hardware

The pickup system is listed as HH, meaning two humbucking pickups. The product data does not identify the pickup models, magnets, output, wiring options, or control layout. It therefore supports a description of the pickup configuration, but not a prediction of the guitar's frequency response, output level, or suitability for a particular style of music.

No tremolo is listed. That distinguishes the stated hardware configuration from one that includes a tremolo system, but the listing does not name the bridge or tailpiece. It also omits tuner type, hardware finish, and control specifications. These omissions matter to buyers comparing detailed hardware setups, so the product page or seller should be consulted for confirmation.

Included accessories and availability

A case is included, while a gig bag is not. The listing does not specify the case type or its construction. For transport and storage, the included case is a clear part of the package, but its exact protection level cannot be evaluated from the information provided.

The listed availability date is September 2026. The item number is 654254, and the sales unit is one piece. These details can help identify the exact listing when checking stock or confirming an order.

Who should consider this guitar?

The specifications may interest players looking specifically for a Gibson single-cut guitar with a mahogany body and neck, maple top, rosewood fingerboard, 22 frets, and two humbucking pickups. The 628 mm scale and absence of a tremolo are also useful comparison points. However, the listing does not supply enough information to assess weight, neck dimensions, pickup voicing, or setup quality. Anyone for whom those details are essential should request them before purchase.

Verdict: The Gibson Les Paul 58 Golden Poppy B ULA has a clearly stated core specification and includes a case. Its supplied details establish the woods, scale, fret count, pickup arrangement, finish name, and basic hardware configuration. They do not support claims about tone or playing feel, and no customer feedback is available. At a listed price of 6,099, with currency unspecified, a buying decision should account for those information gaps and confirm the missing dimensions and hardware details with the seller.
