For
sale or trade is this true one-off 2014 Gibson Les Paul R8 with only a neck
pickup and no binding. As far as I know, it is the only Rx without
binding and the only full-scale neck-pickup-only Gibson Les Paul ever
made. Another rare feature is the control layout. Usually, the
single-pickup Les Pauls have a diagonal layout.
The pickup is a
Gibson Custombucker with a coil-split. To a right deal, I might include a
WIZZ PAF pickup (also with splittable coils).
Currently, the guitar has a B7 Bigsby and bridge installed. A Vibramate was used, so no damage done to the guitar.
The guitar is in great condition, with just regular play wear.
Despite no weight relief, the guitar is very light for a Les Paul, weighing in at around mid 8 pounds with the Bigsby.

I am mainly interested in semi-hollow/hollow Gibsons and vintage Epiphones.
Player guitars, husks, repairs, etc. doesn't bother me if the deal is
right.
Thanks a lot for your time!
