Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
For those who love its characteristic full neck profile and original PAF sound, the 1958 Gibson Les Paul Standard is the Holy Grail. This R8 received the Wildwood treatment, and their work is exemplary, typified here with tasteful aging and glorious low-output CustomBuckers. Finally, it's gotta be one of the most handsome Les Pauls I've ever seen: Note the subtle flame on the "plain" maple top under that rich Kindred Burst!
