The Gibson R8 Les Paul Standard Reissue is as close as many of us can now get to the iconic late 1950’s sunburst Les Paul. Built following the original patterns, the Gibson R8 pairs a book-matched flame-Maple top on a tropical Mahogany back, with Mahogany neck and Indian Rosewood fingerboard.
This Gibson R8 example was built during 2014 at the Nashville plant, and is in exceptionally good, clean condition with virtually no wear of any kind.
The original brown vintage style case is included, with all the paperwork inside.
Here’s the builder on the Gibson R8 Les Paul 1958 Reissue:
“The Gibson R8 – the 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue – features all the painstaking historic construction methods of the famous ’59 Reissues with a few historically-accurate spec differences that allow it to stand on its own. Like the 1958 originals, it has narrow frets which help more of the fingerboard wood to be heard in the tone profile. It also has a round, chunky neck profile for a full feel and maximum bending leverage. And finally it has a beautiful plain maple top; each is unique and full of character. Available in a variety of classic sunburst shades. “
