The Story

Used 2016 Standard Historic ContouR8 1958 Les Paul Reissue Electric Guitar Washed Cherry with Floyd Rose

Here we have a pre-owned Custom Shop ContouR8 Les Paul. The ContouR8 takes the '58 we all know and love with its burst finish and chunk neck and gives it the comfortable contoured neck heel like that of a Les Paul Axcess - not to mention the addition of the Axcess' Floyd Rose tremolo. The neck seamlessly joins the body giving you easy access for fast runs up the fretboard during leads and solos. The Standard Historic is built with a hide glue neck construction, nitro lacquer finish and aniline dyes used for an authentic '50s appearance, and two Custom Bucker humbuckers to pump out classic PAF tones. The guitar is super clean with no markings or dings on it, with the pickguard having been installed by the previous owner. Includes the original case and certificate of authenticity.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Hang Tags, Paperwork
