Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Standard 1958 Reissue True Historic Vintage Lemon ’58 R8 + COA and OHSC

Lovies Guitars is really excited to offer up a gorgeous Gibson Les Paul Custom Shop True Historic 1958 Standard. Wow, what a stunner! Check out the woods on this one! Nice subtle top and stunning grian mahogany. This is a fantastic guitar. It is in great shape. The guitar has been kept babied and cherished in the case and only taken out to play from time to time. These True historics have become prized for their Top Grade woods, craftsmanship and sharp attention to detail to match the original Standards. They were made in much more limited quantities than regular R8s. Very warm low end and spakling highs that bite. Guitar plays very nice and was just set up with new strings and is ready to be loved on. No breaks, cracks, or repiars. Includes original Lifton style Hard case, COA, and paperwork in pics. Guitar is all original. Just a few light finish indentiations and typical Dye Bleed that will go away with time. 9.5 of 10.

True Historic Plastics: Molecular level analysis delivers authentic vintage design. Based on lab analysis of original Gibson plastics from the 1950’s, the plastics on the True Historics including the Toggle Washer, Cream Jackplate, Cream Pickguard, Pickup Mounting Rings and Toggle switch Cap, have been reformulated and re- engineered to the original specifications of their vintage counterparts.
• True Historic Pickup Covers: Designed and engineered based on the originals. Engineered and manufactured to capture every angle and nuance of original vintage pickup covers.
• Double-Carved Top: Authentic vintage dish profile. To recapture the top carve profile of original Vintage Gibson Les Pauls, all True Historic Les Pauls are double carved by CNC, with the final shape of their dish carve achieved through a hand-sanding process.
• Double-Carved Neck: Hand sanded for ideal playability and accurate profile. The necks on all True Historic guitars are double-carved and then hand sanded to achieve that legendary vintage Gibson neck profile; the “beefy”, solid feel of a beautifully hand-crafted Les Paul that rests in the player’s hand like no other guitar.
• “Broken” Peghead Edges, Smoother Edges: Vintage Looks and Feel. Hand-sanded peghead, neck and body edges beautifully capture the look and feel of a true vintage Les Paul.
• Thinner Peghead Veneer: A testament to obsession with detail. While you can’t see it on a finished Les Paul, original ‘50s guitars from Gibson had a thinner peghead veneer. In 2015, all True Historic guitars feature this thoughtful detail in their mission to be as close to an original as possible.
• Thinner True Historic Wet-Sanded Finish: More work, more authentic. All True Historic guitars from Gibson Custom are sprayed with thinner finishes, as were the original 1950’s guitars, and are now hand wet-sanded for beauty and authenticity.
• Hide Glue Top Construction: A real vintage spec on the most “original” Reissue yet. Along with all hide glue neck construction, Gibson Custom extends the use of hide glue to join the back and top of every True Historic guitar, just as it was done in the 1950s.
• Rolled Fingerboard Binding: It’s all about feel and playability. One of the most magical aspects of an original ‘50s Les Paul is its smooth, natural feel. Gibson Custom hand-files the fingerboard binding on every True Historic Les Paul to capture that feel precisely.
