2019 Gibson '58 Les Paul Standard. R8. Here we have a great R8 flame top.

This guitar has had a couple of nice changes.
The top has been refinished in Green lemon Nitro as the original colour was not entirely up realistic. The bridge pickup has also been upgraded to a Monty PAF, including the bridge volume pot. Unfortunately the original pickup did not come with it. Light weight mahogany body, Flamed maple top (unusual for R8s)
Nice and comfortable late 50s profile mahogany neck, not one of the super chubby ones you can get on some, in real term a bit more like a late 58 profile.
12” radius rosewood fingerboard, with trapezoid inlays. The frets are in excellent shape and show minimal sign of wear. ABR 1 Bridge and light weight stop bar.
Vintage correct pickup surrounds, pickguard, truss rod cover and jack O/P Plate.
Vintage Kluson style Gibson tuners. In great overall condition, no breaks, repairs or major marks. There is a couple of very light marks at the back, nothing major and hard to see. The usual aniline red dye used on the back has leaked over the binding on this one, this seems to happen and it is typical on these. Great player and very lightweight at 3.845Kg or 8.48Lb. Comes with the original LIfton style case, COA, tags and medallion toggle switch back cover.
