Gibson Les Paul Standard R8
Here we have a lightly used 2010 Gibson R8 complete with its case and all the case candy. It weighs in at 8.6 llbs which is bang on and probably quite hard to find.
It has all the features you would expect with no wear to the frets or board. The nickel hardware has aged nicely giving it a very authentic look.
Some manufacturer blurb
The 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue features all the painstaking historic construction methods of the famous ’59 Reissues with a few historically-accurate spec differences that allow it stand on its own. Like the 1958 originals, it has narrow frets which help more of the fingerboard wood to be heard in the tone profile. It also has a round, chunky neck profile for a full feel and maximum bending leverage. And finally it has a beautiful plain maple top; each is unique and full of character. Available in a variety of classic sunburst shades.
