2008 Gibson VOS Les Paul Standard Custom Shop Historic Collection Faded Tobacco Burst
Excellent condition with Gibson case, original paperwork , certificate of authenticity, cable, all other paperwork, and warranty card.
This guitar is just gorgeous, and it looks darn near unplayed and it has no nicks, dings or any signs of wear or even playwear at all. The only thing interesting I noticed is that it has some fading of the metal on the pickup covers. The person I bought it from bought it new in 2008 . These are actual photos of the one you will get.
Weight – 9 pounds, 12.6 ounces
Serial Number – 8-8949
Here is some info from the Gibson archives that I THINK is correct, but use the photos for your own decision:

This 2008 Gibson Custom Shop '58 Les Paul Standard Reissue (R8) is a superb example of vintage craftsmanship with an authentic, unchambered solid mahogany body for classic tone and sustain. Part of the sought-after Historic Collection, this instrument is in great condition and includes all original case candy and the original hardshell case.
Key Features:
- Construction & Tone: The solid, non-weight relieved mahogany body is capped with a plain maple top, delivering a rich, articulate tone with powerful punch.
- Pickups: Equipped with period-correct Gibson Burstbucker humbuckers, it provides the dynamic, complex tones reminiscent of original PAF pickups.
- Neck Profile: The substantial, rounded '50s-style mahogany neck (often described as "chunky") offers a comfortable, vintage feel that resonates well with players seeking that classic "baseball bat" profile.
- Hardware & Finish: It features a beautiful, thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish (VOS - Vintage Original Spec) and historically accurate nickel hardware, including an ABR-1 bridge and Kluson Deluxe tuners.
- Extras: This R8 includes the original hardshell case, the Certificate of Authenticity (COA), and all original "case candy" (hangtags, paperwork, etc.), making it a highly collectible piece.
