Up for auction is my gorgeous Gibson Les Paul 1958 R8 VOS Historic Custom Shop.From the Gibson Custom Shop 2016.Sunrise Tea Burst VOSHome use only. In perfect condition.All case candy, additional selector cavity cover and certificate booklet.Lightweight at 8lbs 8oz.Possibly the best top I've seen on a R8. I think it looks like an old guitar as the top has a great flame with plenty of character.The Custom Buckers sound great. A very vintage sound. Gibson have struck gold with these newly designed pickups. This is a very resonant Les Paul with beautiful tone.2016 Gibsons have to be the best the Custom Shop have produced in years. The accuracy to the specifications of a vintage Les Paul is spot on. The Aniline Dye Gibson use "bleeds" into the binding, an example of this is photographed. This is normal. Genuine reason for sale. To answer several emails, I've been fortunate enough to buy a vintage guitar. I will be very sad to see my R8 go, especially after owning 8 Les Pauls in the last 30 years, this one being the best by far. My R8 will help fund this latest purchase.No trades thank you. I'm just looking to sell.My Les Paul will be securely packaged in its case and a cardboard shipping carton.
