Description
Lovies Guitars is excited to present this 2008 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul R8 ’58 Historic Reissue finished in a gorgeous Iced Tea Burst. The R8 is all about that fat, woody late-’50s Les Paul voice—huge sustain, rich mids, and a punchy low end—paired with the comfortable rounded ’58 neck carve that feels substantial and inspiring in the hands. A killer Custom Shop Historic with classic looks and serious tone.
This guitar includes its Certificate of Authenticity (COA) and comes with a Hardshell Case (HSC).
Changes / notes (disclosed):
Pickup covers swapped or removed/reinstalled (as noted)
Bridge replaced with a Gotoh Nashville-style bridge
Condition is rated at 9.5/10 – Excellent. It shows light aging on the hardware and finish, with various small dings/scratches on the top and back and very minor buckle rash. There is a small chip on the back treble-side of the headstock, one tiny ding on the bass-side waist, and a few tiny dings along the back edge. All cosmetic and consistent with careful use. No cracks, breaks, or repairs.
