Description

This 2010 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul began as an R7 and was converted to R8 specifications by Dave Johnson. Finished in Lemon Burst, it features a re-carved maple top over a mahogany body, along with a reshaped mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard. Its C-profile neck, 24.75" scale, 12" radius, and 8.8-pound weight give it a substantial vintage-inspired feel.

The conversion included cellulose nitrate inlays and a serial-number change from 7-0742 to 8-9782. It is fitted with Bare Knuckle humbuckers reading 7.12k at the neck and 7.76k at the bridge, along with non-original tuners, knobs, cavity covers, and pickguard. It remains in excellent condition and includes its original hardshell case.
