About This Listing

Now this is one rare '58 Reissue!  Made for Sam Ash in 2000 in very limited quantities these very rarely come on the market.  A '58 reissue with ebony finish and a light back. Much more commonly seen with a plain sunburst, or goldtop.  This one is a great player and setup with a low action.  The neck is thick and chunky like an R7. One of the bigger, rounder profiles that Gibson has ever used. Chunky neck players….this if for you. Looking for a 60’s grip, or slim tapper? Keep looking, we have guitars with tapered profiles also. This one is for the “as big a neck as it gets” set.   The guitar comes with the original Gibson case.  Very nicely kept clean example, even for the notoriously “shows every flaw” black lacquer finish.  This is the black standard! Made in the custom shop alongside the R7’S R8’S and R9’S   Weight: 8 lbs. 13.7 oz.
