Personal Reflection
This limited-run Blues Master '58 Reissue, exclusive to Andertons, is a true gem in the world of Les Pauls. The Aged Cherry Burst finish highlights a handpicked maple top with exceptional grain and character, chosen specifically for this special "Made to Measure" run. The chunky '50s neck profile captures the authentic feel of a vintage Les Paul, while the Custom Bucker pickups deliver rich, warm tones with the perfect amount of vintage-style clarity and sustain. The attention to detail in this reissue is remarkable, from the aged trapezoid inlays to the subtle aging of the finish, which gives it a naturally worn-in look without heavy relic treatment. This guitar is all about bringing the soulful, resonant tones that players love from a ’58, with modern craftsmanship and vintage accuracy.
Ben described the tone as “authentically vintage,” with a richness and warmth that’s ideal for blues, rock, and jazz, and noted that the handpicked top adds “unique character and visual appeal” that truly makes it a standout piece. The feel of the chunky neck and resonance of the body make it a joy to play, embodying the classic Les Paul vibe perfectly.

This exclusive model is a collector-worthy piece, meticulously maintained and offering a unique combination of beauty, rarity, and that iconic Les Paul tone.
