Used – Made in 2016

A Gibson Custom Shop Standard Historic “1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue” has just arrived on the used market. This is a highly sought-after 2016 model, making it an especially desirable piece that players won’t want to miss.

This guitar comes from the Standard Historic era, known for its faithful vintage specifications, excellent build quality, and consistent craftsmanship.

Constructed using hide glue and finished in a thin VOS lacquer, it delivers rich resonance and a natural, lively response. The comfortable 1958-style neck profile is substantial without being overly large, offering excellent playability. With its focused midrange and smooth, singing sustain, this R8 performs beautifully across a wide range of styles—from clean tones to driven sounds. It also responds exceptionally well to the guitar’s volume control, providing an amp-like dynamic expression.

Cosmetically, it features the characteristic VOS patina along with minor dings consistent with careful use, but no significant damage. Playability and electronics are in excellent working condition. As a late-period Standard Historic model, the 2016 R8 is particularly well regarded in the used market and continues to be a popular choice among players and collectors alike.

If you are looking for a Historic Les Paul that combines vintage character with real-world versatility, this is a superb option.

Don’t miss this opportunity.
