Gibson Custom Shop / Les Paul Historic Reissue 1958 VOS R8 / 2010 / Ice Tea Burst / Guitar
A Beautiful Rich and full of Tone R8!!
This Chambered Les Paul Custom Shop 1958 Reissue VOS (Vintage Original Spec) guitar has great features, tone, and looks that made the original ’58 Les Paul a classic, but with an ultra-light body!
This ’58 Reissue features a Figured Carved Maple Top, a One Piece Mahogany Body, and one-piece mahogany neck with rounded ’50’s neck profile, single ply cream binding on the top and fingerboard, reissue trapezoid inlays, nickel plated hardware, and an original ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge.
The Gibson Burstbucker Pickups used in the Chambered ’58 are historically accurate “Patent Applied For” replicas with an airy tone and unbalanced coils. A medium output Burstbucker 1 is used in the neck position, while the Burstbucker 2 in the bridge position has a slightly hotter output. Both have unpolished magnets and non-potted coils ” like the original “Patent Applied For” pickups.
