Gibson Les Paul 1958 Reissue LPR-8 - USA 2008

Here is a 2008 Gibson Custom Shop Historic LPR-8 Les Paul Reissue in Cherry Burst, a beautifully executed example based on the 1958 Standard and widely regarded as one of the most authentic-feeling reissues in the Historic range. With its plain maple top and substantial neck profile, the R8 is designed to prioritise tone, weight, and playing feel over visual flame, capturing the essence of the original late-’50s Les Paul design.

This example features a comfortable full neck profile and delivers the classic R8 tonal character—strong fundamental midrange, warm sustain, and excellent clarity across all strings. The Cherry Burst finish is well preserved with only light ageing to the hardware, and the guitar presents in excellent condition overall with a resonant, open response both acoustically and amplified.

Condition is excellent with minimal signs of use and everything functioning as it should. A clean and well-kept Custom Shop Historic Les Paul Reissue that delivers classic late-’50s tone and feel. Comes with the original Gibson hard shell case.
