This is a Gibson Custom Shop Historic 1958 Les Paul Standard PSL R8 Reissue Slow Ice Tea Fade Gloss Finish… PSL stands for “Pre-sold Limited”. So all the woods were hand-picked for this particular instrument. It’s in absolutely mint like new condition with zero play wear. The maple top matches perfectly with beautiful grain… Comes in the Gibson Lifton hard case with everything that comes with them new including the certificate of authenticity… Was only played to make sure it sounds fantastic with nice action and no fret buzz…Just a joy to play. A very good deal on this limited beauty! Dated 2021 but purchased new in 2023 and never used. This is a nice one with perfect weight & excellent tone from crystal clear to serious gain…Some are better then others well this is one of them.
Weight is a nice light 8. 4lb’s
Will pack well in the original Gibson carton and fully insure it.
I will return any item if its not as described only.
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 to 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.
