Butler Music is pleased to offer this Gibson Custom Shop 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue, model LPR8, serial number 83469. This is a one-owner guitar that was extremely well cared for, and it comes with its hardshell case, matching Gibson Custom Certificate of Authenticity, pictured paperwork and hangtags, and even its original Gibson shipping box.

The guitar shown in these photos is the actual instrument you will receive. It weighs 8 pounds, 15.9 ounces. Our research leads us to believe it was made in 2013. 

Its gorgeous cherry-to-amber sunburst highlights the maple top’s distinctive grain and subtle figuring. Cream binding and pickup surrounds, gold control knobs, covered humbuckers, and classic trapezoid fingerboard inlays give it the unmistakable look that makes a vintage-style Les Paul so appealing.

This guitar plays amazingly well and is ready to enjoy. Whether you’re looking for a serious stage instrument, a studio companion, or a Custom Shop Les Paul to treasure at home, this R8 deserves your attention.
