Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
SP Luthier Notes: The binding has been repaired. The pickguard has been repaired.
The Gibson Les Paul R9 Historic Makeover is a finely tuned recreation that captures the feel and tone of a great vintage Burst. Its figured maple top over a mahogany body delivers rich sustain, warm mids, and clear, singing highs, while the Custombucker pickups provide articulate, dynamic tones with plenty of vintage character. The aged nickel hardware, replica Catalin switch tip, and cellulose nitrate inlays add to the authentic, broken-in feel. Comfortable, resonant, and highly expressive, this 2018 R9 Makeover offers a refined vintage-style voice with exceptional depth and responsiveness.
