2009 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul LPR8
Summary: The 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue features all the painstaking historic construction methods. Like the 1958 originals, it has narrow frets which help more of the fingerboard wood to be heard in the tone profile. It also has a round, chunky neck profile for a full feel and maximum bending leverage. And finally, it has a beautiful plain maple top; each is unique and full of character.
