Gibson Custom Shop 2018 'Hand Selected' 1958 RI Les Paul 'Royal Tea Burst' (R8)

For sale here we have this drop dead gorgeous 2018 Royal Tea Burst Gibson 1958 Custom Shop reissue ‘Hand Selected’ Les Paul. Only a very few of special guitars were hand-selected from the Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee, by the representatives of top Japanese dealers with the highest knowledge of Gibson Custom Instruments who took them back to Japan for exclusive retail to a few select large stores. It’s an absolutely beautiful top on this one as you'd expect from a hand selected R8. It is full gloss finish as opposed to VOS and once this beauty begins to age it will look amazing! Nice subtly figured flame on this one with a top-quality vintage look. Complete with all case candy inc. certificate of authenticity booklet & also the separate corresponding hand-selected certificate with sleeve, pre-pack checklist and hangtags; all of which bear the guitar's individual serial number. It has as a beautifully streaked dark rosewood fingerboard and a nice chunky neck as you’d expect from a ’58. Very, very light for a non-chambered historic at just under 3.8kg! Obviously no issues at all, no breaks, repairs or modifications. Complete with original historic pink velvet crush lined Lifton reissue hard shell case also in great condition. It is super clean with no dings, gouges or buckle rash. It is in fine condition all over. This represents the absolute best of the best when it comes to a 1958 Custom Shop reissue. We carefully hand-select all our Custom Shop reissues, and only choose the very best tops.
