Another quality Guitar from Lovies Guitars, please google us for deals and additional photos on our website.

Lovies Guitars is excited to present this 2008 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul R8 ’58 Historic Reissue finished in a gorgeous Iced Tea Burst. The R8 is all about that fat, woody late-’50s Les Paul voice—huge sustain, rich mids, and a punchy low end—paired with the comfortable rounded ’58 neck carve that feels substantial and inspiring in the hands. A killer Custom Shop Historic with classic looks and serious tone.

This guitar includes its Certificate of Authenticity (COA) and comes with a Hardshell Case (HSC).

Changes / notes (disclosed):

• Pickup covers swapped or removed/reinstalled (as noted)
• Bridge replaced with a Gotoh Nashville-style bridge

Condition is rated at 9.5/10 – Excellent. It shows light aging on the hardware and finish, with various small dings/scratches on the top and back and very minor buckle rash. There is a small chip on the back treble-side of the headstock, one tiny ding on the bass-side waist, and a few tiny dings along the back edge. All cosmetic and consistent with careful use. No cracks, breaks, or repairs.
