edited October 2017 in Guitars £
Hey all,  posting this  for a friend because he struggles with the check stuff,  there we have his R8  in washed cherry.  The aging is absolutely beautiful and its a complete a joy to play!! Stunning guitar and looking for an owner to love. 50's rounded neck profile ' 22 fret rosewood fretboard ' pearloid trapezoid fret inlays ' abr-1 tune - o - matic bridge the list goes on! Made to absolute measure to a 1958 Gibson les paul and certainly looks it with the guys at Gibson doing a great job with the aging on this one, Comes with all her 'candy ' tags etc and booklet of authenticity plus Gibson custom case!! Trade/part x more than welcome Gibson ' prs' fender but ideally looking to sell 

Price £3000  location - bolton lancs

    I think we should have a new system, instead of putting guitars up for sale we just pm Nick. These could be annually redistributed around the fretboard (perhaps at Christmas) when he’s bored with them? :)

    Was about to pm you to see if we could arrange a jam as I’m on half term and waiting for baby to arrive.

    Apologies @vettahead for derailing your thread.

    Seeing as you don't reply to PM's why don't you tell us what's going on with this guitar?

    Doesn't look like a 2012 to me, which is a good thing because 2012 Custom Shop Les Pauls have the bi-layered fingerboard that affects resale value.

    What's the second digit of the serial number?
