If you’re chasing everything that makes a great Historic Collection Les Paul special without the flashy flame top, this 2014 Gibson Custom Shop R8 might just be the perfect guitar.
The R8 has long been a favourite amongst players who appreciate the feel, tone and character of a late-’50s Les Paul. Built to recreate the legendary 1958 Les Paul Standard, these guitars feature the same Historic Collection attention to detail, exceptional craftsmanship and incredible playability that have made the Gibson Custom Shop reissues so highly regarded.
This particular example is in excellent condition and has all the hallmarks of a great R8. The larger late-’50s neck profile fills the hand beautifully, delivering that substantial feel that many players seek out. Combined with a lightweight resonant body and a pair of Custom Shop humbuckers, the result is a guitar that sounds every bit as good as it looks.
Whether you’re a collector, gigging musician or simply someone looking for a serious Les Paul, this R8 delivers the goods.
Complete with its original case, paperwork and case candy.
