Not your typical R8.
This is a 2016 Gibson
Custom Shop '58 Les Paul Standard in an all-Ebony finish with VOS treatment
— a rare look for a true '58 reissue and a serious departure from the usual bursts.
Specs & Highlights
'58 Les Paul Standard
Reissue (R8)
Ebony finish
8.8lbs
VOS treatment
Custombucker pickups
Chunky, comfortable '58 neck carve
Original Gibson Custom
Shop case (pink interior)
COA + all case candy included
Condition
Very clean and well cared for. A couple of small dings on the neck-purely cosmetic and do not affect playability. Otherwise presents extremely well.
Top Detail
Under certain lighting, a subtle flame figure reveals itself beneath the Ebony finish —a great hidden touch that gives this guitar a little extra character without taking away from the classic look.
Tone / Feel
Everything you want from a great R8-thick low end, woody mids, and clear, open highs. The
Custombuckers deliver that classic PAF character with excellent dynamics and note separation. The
'58 carve feels substantial but comfortable.
Why This One
Most R8s are bursts. This isn't.
If you want the feel and tone of a '58 Standard but with a darker, more aggressive visual, this one stands out immediately.
Bottom Line
A sharp, no-nonsense Custom Shop R8 with a unique finish that
separates it from the pack.
I’m happy to answer all questions and provide more photos upon request.
