It is a beautifully kept example of Gibson’s flagship Historic line, built to honour the look, feel and response of the revered late-50s Les Pauls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"312\" data-end=\"689\"\u003eGibson established the Custom Shop in the early 1990s as a dedicated division focused on historically accurate recreations and small-run instruments, answering growing demand for vintage-correct builds. The Historic series grew from that commitment, combining period-correct construction, select tonewoods and meticulous detailing to capture the essence of Gibson’s golden era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"691\" data-end=\"994\"\u003eWhat sets this particular example apart is its rare 3-piece figured maple top - a configuration seldom seen on Custom Shop Historics and highly distinctive in its visual character. The grain lines create a unique symmetry and depth under the Hudson Burst, giving the guitar a personality all of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"996\" data-end=\"1368\"\u003eWhile designated as a 1958 Reissue, the neck carve leans more toward a late-1959 profile - comfortably full, but not as chunky as a traditional R8. It sits beautifully in the hand, offering that late-50s substance without feeling oversized. The result is a refined, fast-playing Historic that retains authority and presence while remaining effortless over longer sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1370\" data-end=\"1675\"\u003eTonally, it delivers the strong fundamental, harmonic richness and dynamic response expected from a great late-50s-style Les Paul. There’s a bold, vocal midrange and a singing sustain that feels very much in the spirit of Slash’s famed ‘Jessica’ - vintage-inspired, commanding and unmistakably expressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1677\" data-end=\"1923\"\u003eThe Hudson Burst finish adds understated depth, enhancing the figuring of the rare 3-piece top without overpowering it. Acoustically lively and resonant, it balances warmth and clarity in a way that feels both authentic and immediately inspiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1925\" data-end=\"2106\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eA rare-spec Historic with visual distinction, a more ’59-inspired neck carve and unmistakable late-50s attitude - a standout Custom Shop Les Paul that is as unique as it is refined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1453\" data-end=\"1459\"\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1461\" data-end=\"1482\"\u003eAction at 1st Fret: 0.25mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1484\" data-end=\"1506\"\u003eAction at 12th Fret: 1.25mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1508\" data-end=\"1533\"\u003eNeck Depth at 1st Fret: 22.3mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1535\" data-end=\"1547\"\u003eNut Width: 43.17mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1549\" data-end=\"1570\"\u003eWidth at 12th Fret: 52.13mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1572\" data-end=\"1581\"\u003eWeight: 3770g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1583\" data-end=\"1625\"\u003eModel: Gibson Custom Shop LPR-8 Historic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1627\" data-end=\"1659\"\u003eBody Style: Solidbody electric\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1661\" data-end=\"1677\"\u003eBody: Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1679\" data-end=\"1691\"\u003eTop: Maple\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1693\" data-end=\"1715\"\u003eFinish: Hudson Burst\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1717\" data-end=\"1733\"\u003eNeck: Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1735\" data-end=\"1758\"\u003eFingerboard: Rosewood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1760\" data-end=\"1800\"\u003ePickups: Gibson Custombuckers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1802\" data-end=\"1820\"\u003eHardware: Nickel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1822\" data-end=\"1864\"\u003eControls: 2 volume, 2 tone, 3 way toggle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1866\" data-end=\"1907\"\u003eCase: Original hard shell case included\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1909\" data-end=\"1960\"\u003eCrafted in: Nashville Custom Shop, Tennessee, USA\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53839162900799,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G70025974","price":3497.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/26036-1.webp?v=1782095094","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/gibson-cs-lpr-8-historic-usa-2016","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
