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.
Today's Gibson electric guitars represent the history as well as the future of the electric guitar. The models whose designs have become classics-the ES-175, ES-335, Flying V, Explorer, Firebird, SGs and Les Pauls-are a testament to Gibson's wide appeal, spanning more than four decades of music styles. Gibson's close relationship with musicians is manifest in endorsement models from King, Atkins and jazz greats Howard Roberts and Herb Ellis, plus new Les Pauls made to the personal specifications of rock stars Jimmy Page and Joe Perry. In 1994, Gibson's Centennial year, the new Nighthawk model won an industry award for design, setting the stage for a second hundred years of Gibson quality and innovation.
