Custom Shop '58 reissue (R8) Les Paul with Murphy Lab Ageing. It is covered in lacquer checking which looks superb on close inspection and when it catches the light (see photo where we've tried to illustrate this).
The condition is excellent (unsurprising given its only a few months old), and we could only identify a couple of very minor blemishes, which feel in keeping with the 'vintage-vibe' of the guitar.
This authentic recreation exemplifies Gibson Custom Shop's tireless quest for accuracy to the original year of production, from the woods to the construction and parts. Each Custom Shop Reissue is every bit the instrument and statement piece as the priceless vintage examples, and the Murphy Lab ageing, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of subtle playing wear — giving it the unique character, vibe and feel of an original example from Gibson's "Golden Era".
It's period correct features include a lightweight Mahogany 1-piece back with Maple top, chunky profile Mahogany neck with Indian Rosewood fingerboard, 12” radius, Hide Glue fit, Narrow/Tall frets, ABR-1 bridge with lightweight Aluminium stop bar, and vintage style Kluson tuners.
The Custom Bucker Alnico III (unpotted) pickups sound absolutely superb and offer up classic, vintage Les Paul tone. It has 2x Volume, 2x Tone controls and all-quality components including CTS 500K Audio Taper Potentiometers, Paper-in-Oil Capacitors and Switchcraft 3-way pickup selector.
It's a lightweight example at only 8lb 7oz and comes complete with its paperwork, COA, Candy, and Lifton Custom Shop case to keep it protected.
