This 2006 Gibson Les Paul R9 in Sunburst is a clean example of what the Custom Shop was up to in the mid-2000s. The top has a classic burst look—subtle flame, nice color transition, and just enough depth without going over the top. It’s in excellent condition with very little wear, and the frets and finish are holding up nicely. The neck has that full ’59 carve—round, comfortable, and familiar—and the Burstbuckers deliver a clear, fat tone with plenty of sustain. Solid weight, lively unplugged, and ready to go. Comes with the OHSC and COA.
