There are a couple of light scratches near the toggle switch that are hard to catch in photos but visible when the light hits them at an angle. Near the input jack there's a small nick in the finish. The back of the body shows some swirl marks and light surface wear consistent with mild play over the years. The headstock has minor surface checking — nothing deep, just the kind of lacquer movement you'd expect from a 2004 nitro finish. Frets show mild play wear. Everything is original and unmodified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeighs in at 9 lbs 6 oz.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncludes the original Gibson Custom Art Historic hardshell case (moderate wear, a few scuffs), original Gibson Custom Shop hang tags, Customer Care Guide, and Limited Warranty card. This guitar predates the COA booklet — no certificate of authenticity is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2004 Gibson Custom Shop 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue is from the heart of the Historic Collection era — before VOS finishes, before Custombuckers, and before the \"True Historic\" branding. These are gloss nitro Historics with Burstbucker pickups, Madagascar rosewood fingerboards, and the kind of chunky '50s neck profile that R8s are known for. The plain maple top on this one has great grain character, and the Washed Cherry Burst finish has the warm, translucent red-to-amber fade that this colorway is recognized for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt in Nashville at the Gibson Custom Shop, this is a no-compromise reissue of one of the most iconic electric guitars ever made — the 1958 Les Paul Standard that kicked off the burst era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBody: Solid Mahogany with Carved Plain Maple Top\u003cbr\u003eNeck: One-Piece Mahogany, Long Neck Tenon\u003cbr\u003eNeck Profile: '50s Rounded (Chunky C)\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard: Madagascar Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius: 12\"\u003cbr\u003eFrets: 22\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 24.75\"\u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 1-11\/16\"\u003cbr\u003eInlays: Acrylic Trapezoid\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Single-Ply Cream (Top and Neck)\u003cbr\u003ePickups: Burstbucker Type 1 (Neck), Burstbucker Type 2 (Bridge)\u003cbr\u003eControls: 2 Volume, 2 Tone, 3-Way Toggle Switch\u003cbr\u003eElectronics: CTS Pots, Bumblebee Capacitors\u003cbr\u003eBridge: ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic\u003cbr\u003eTailpiece: Lightweight Aluminum Stopbar\u003cbr\u003eTuners: Kluson Deluxe with Tulip Buttons\u003cbr\u003eHardware: Nickel\u003cbr\u003eKnobs: Gold Top Hat\u003cbr\u003ePickguard: Cream, '50s Style\u003cbr\u003eHeadstock Veneer: Holly\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer, Washed Cherry Burst\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 9 lbs 6 oz\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52402411372856,"sku":"210000029624","price":5299.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0255\/2712\/4002\/files\/ujdczril2e2flvp87s5o.jpg?v=1779230208","url":"https:\/\/guitarworks.ca\/products\/2004-gibson-custom-shop-historic-1958-les-paul-standard-reissue-r8-washed-cherry-burst-w-case","provider":"Guitarworks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
