About This Listing

Original 2008 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul R8 1958 Re-Issue in original Sunburst finish.

Plays and sounds fantastic. Neck is nice and fat and plays great all the way up and down. Neck has '58 specs, nice and fat.

Guitar is weight relieved so it's only 7.5 pounds!

Custom Shop Gibson humbuckers have a fantastic vintage tone like the real deal.

The finish is particularly nicely flamed on this example with a wonderful book matched flame top.

Comes with original cert, all case candy, patch chord, and original Custom Shop Case.

Don't miss this one, it's a real nice example perfect for the player and collector alike.
