Gibson Les Paul 58 VOS R8

stopmaykinsense · 04-14-2011, 10:21 AM

Ok folks. I'm putting up my minty 2010 58 VOS. I am selling it because I'm a strat guy at heart and no matter how hard I try I can't ignore my calling.

No modifications have been done other than replacing the pickups. It is sporting a SICK pair of Bare Knuckle PG Blues pups. These are low output out of phase and unpotted. They sound amazing and vintagey all the way. (Bridge 7.7 and neck 7.2 ohms) I don't have the BBs that came with it.

The guitar is in minty condition, it has not been gigged. However, I have played it a good deal in my practice space and apartment so there is some light surface swirling here and there. No significant dings though or anything of the sort save one tiny almost unphotographable mark on the back of the neck around the 7th fret. It affects nothing and was actually there when I got it from the dealer. I didn't return it because I didn't care and the guitar played too amazingly. I don't mean to make a big deal about this but I'm trying to be as thorough as possible.

The neck is the perfect in between size, not a baseball bat at all. Pretty much the same as all the R9s I've played. No fret wear at all, set up real nice with medium action (I'm a blues player). Really an amazing sounding guitar. Color is Sunrise Tea Burst. This is NOT chambered and weighs in just under 9 lbs (exact measurements incoming...)

I have all the case candy, including the paperwork for the Bare Knuckle pups.
I don't have updated photos, so for now I'll post the pics of it from the first day I got it. Asking $2450 shipped to the US. PM me if interested! NO TRADES unless you've got a 2008 or new Fender 69 Custom Shop strat.

Bump! This one won't be here for long, I think I might change my mind!

BUmp.

Did you sell this already? I noticed it was gone on the gearpage.

stopmaykinsense · 04-18-2011, 01:13 PM

Thanks for the interest but I'm taking this one off the market. Too nice of a guitar (and too new!) to sell at a loss...

stopmaykinsense · 05-03-2011, 07:56 AM

Well folks, this LP is back up for sale since I've finally landed my dream strat.

Price will be $2350-$2375 shipped in the US, depending on exactly how far it has to go. Located in Boston, MA.

Cheers!
