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.
