Another example of the fine work produced by Gibson Custom Shop, this 2008 R9 Les Paul is a exceptionally crafted recreation of a 1959 'Burst.' Constructed from a Mahogany body with traditional set Mahogany neck and dark Rosewood fingerboard, this guitar features a particularly vibrant flamed maple top. The body is fitted with a set of Gibson Custom Bucker P.A.F style humbuckers for authentically vintage Les Paul tone, and all other hardware is recreated with a huge amount of attention to detail to ensure it is accurate to vintage specs.
