GONE Gibson Custom Shop 58 R8 VOS

photek

Genuinely killer guitar, with some nice upgrades, formerly owned by @BusterCrabb of The Temperance Movement fame.

Original case and COA
Refretted by Monty with larger wire (same as they use now)
Aged Duncan Antiquities
Aged Faber kit with brass saddles
Plastic from Crazyparts (I think, might be montreaux)
Weighs 9.2lbs
Proper fat neck
Case candy, polishing cloth, lead etc...


Stays in tune beautifully, frets are great, action is as low as you like with no buzzes, can go shredder low if you like.

I have gigged this for the last few years and It has also toured the world with the previous owner so it has some dings and buckle rush, nothing drastic and nothing effecting playability. Saves paying Mr Murphy to do it hey!

£2000


I might take a PX but I’m a fussy git. Based near Huntingdon, Cambs. Happy to travel a bit to meet up but not up for shipping.

Hi mate, mainly using single coils these days. Still have a couple of less expensive Jap Les Paul’s to keep me out of trouble though

More pics added.

Oh, the poker chip that is on some of the pics is my band name so will be replaced with the aged one that is in the first pic!

Thanks chap, I forgot you had second dibs  

I will no doubt regret moving this on, after 30 odd Les Paul’s this has been the closest in tone and feel to the vintage ones I have played. I might slap some single coils in it and keep it haha.
