Pre-Gibson Custom Shop, some dealers were in well enough with Gibson to order their customers close to vintage spec Les Pauls. Known as Pre-Historics, these rare Les Pauls are critical part of the reissue history. Nickel hardware, thin lacquer, correct headstock angle, and ink stamp serial number; Gibson certainly had understanding of their iconic model. The pickups are of their time for Gibson, which is a good thing: Tim Shaws (7.6k in the Neck and 7.9k in the Bridge)! It has its original hardshell case and stickers on the pickup rings. Calling all R9 lovers...

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
