What makes this guitar special: Carefully crafted by the master luthiers in the Gibson Custom Shop, these R8’s are phenomenal reproductions of the original 58 Standards. Every detail, from the chunky neck to the oversprayed binding is accounted for, with a set of Burstbuckers that provide searing hot, full-bodied tone. It’s been professionally setup and inspected by our expert in-house luthier, and will arrive ready to play out of the case.Cosmetic condition: Great shape for its age, with some surface scratches and dings throughout, pickwear on the pickguard, and some mild surface level buckle rash. There is some light fretwear, visible oxidation on the hardware, and some scuffs around the edges of the headstock. Cosmetically, this one is an 8/10.Body: One-piece mahogany body in cherry finish with bound maple top in tobacco sunburst finish.
