Hi Jake,

Thanks again for the order and here are the details:

This Pre Owned Gibson Custom Shop 2017 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue R8 
is in excellent condition and clearly been very well cared for by the 
original owner. The pick ups have been upgraded with Amber Spirit of 
'59's and it sounds absolutely great. At the same time it had a CTS 
wiring harness added and Faber tail piece + bridge. The original tail 
piece is in the case should you wish to switch it back in the future. 
Care has been taken to keep all the original case candy in excellent 
condition which all adds to the ownership of a guitar like this.

The condition of the guitar overall is excellent with very few signs of 
use. The body and neck are very clean. On first looks it looks in mint 
condition but on closer inspection you can see the normal light swirling 
to the finish from use. There is one tiny dink on the top back of the 
headstock which measures 1-2mm max. During the time it was on our 
workbench for a full healthcheck we have noticed a small area under the 
scratchplate which appears to be a reaction/lacquer burn. Obviously this 
would only ever be an issue if you wanted to take the scratchplate off. 
We have photo's of this if you want to see it.

This really is a fine example of an R8 and it's now ready to find a new 
home. If you would like any further information or pictures, please get 
in touch 01926 808982

Weight: 8.9lbs
Serial Number: 871332
Includes Original Case, COA booklet, Swing Tags, Warranty Card, Switch 
Plate and the original bridge that was replaced.

Regards.
Tim.
