Ben1984

Here's a lovely Gibson custom shop historic les Paul R8 reissue it's been given the custom shop vos treatment and is a 2014 model The  Les Paul '58 Reissue relies on the ingredients that made the Les Paul a classic in the first place, but puts them together in the way that first began to show off what was going on underneath the finish. The Gibson Custom Shop uses a body of solid, non-weight relieved mahogany, which blends depth and richness with the snap and clarity of the maple top. The quarter-sawn mahogany neck isn't too thick which in combination with the traditional long-tenon neck joint, enhances sustain and resonance as well as feeling great in the hand , features include a one-piece rosewood fingerboard, Kluson Deluxe machine heads, hot-hide glue neck fit, a Historic Truss Rod assembly with no tubing, accurate body and fingerboard binding color, new Custom Buckers created in the image of the original PAFs, and period-correct Aniline dye beneath its nitrocellulose lacquer finish.

The guitars condition is great with only very minimal playwear it's quite light too for a 58 and the top has a great bit of flame to it ...Comes with all hangtags /medallion and coa and its ohsc ... £2500 firm or will trade/px for other gibson/fender custom shop guitars
