This 2008 Gibson Les Paul R8 50th Anniversary reissue celebrates the iconic '58 Les Paul Standard with great attention to vintage detail. Part of Gibson's Historic Collection, this guitar features a stunning carved maple top paired with a solid mahogany body for classic tone and sustain. The chunky '50s-style neck profile offers a comfortable, vintage feel, while the rosewood fingerboard adds warmth and depth to every note. Equipped with Burstbucker pickups, it delivers the rich, dynamic tones reminiscent of the original PAF humbuckers.

This special anniversary model also boasts period-correct appointments, including a thin nitrocellulose finish, vintage-style hardware, and historically accurate detailing. Cosmetically, it's in good shape with vintage style relic'ing and a chunk removed from the finish on the back bass side waist. 

Includes OHSC and COA.

*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.
