2016 Gibson Custom Shop '58 Les Paul Standard Historic 1958 Reissue Flametop! BEAUTY Faded Tobacco Sunburst, Mint, Original Hard, $3,695.00

Nice 2016 Gibson R8 with "lightly" figured top. Strong flame, incredible for an R8. Plays and sounds wonderful. It's mint, unplayed with no issues. Comes with the original brown Lifton-style case, COA, and all paperwork. Here's your chance to pick an R8 that has a top more like a 1959 Reissue. All the great 2014 specs that were so well-received.

Specs:

Single layer Rosewood fingerboards with real celluloid inlays
Aniline dye: Aniline dye is a vintage woodcraft coloring material and technique that results in superior wood grain presentation and depth of color
Kluson "Deluxe" Green Keys: These "new" tuning keys are as near a replica of the original Kluson tuners as is available. They feature the proper vintage profile, color and performance specifications
Hot Hide Glue Neck-Fit and One-piece rosewood fingerboard also Hide Glued. Many argue that the original hide-glue guitars have a different tone than those with synthetic glue
Custom Bucker Pickups created in the image of the original PAFs. These are the most accurate recreation of the original 50's PAF pickups to date
Historic Truss Rod Assembly. Re-engineered truss rod, truss rod washer and anchor to their original form. Original vintage Gibsons did not have the "tubing" that surrounds the truss rod of modern Gibsons
Accurate Vintage Color Fingerboard and Body Binding. A darker cream color to match the original 50's Gibsons
Back colors have been reformulated to capture the deeper, richer tones of the original 50's Gibsons.
