John from Play and Trade Guitars is back with another ON THE BENCH. This time he takes apart a 2013 Gibson Custom Shop Historic Les Paul Standard 1958 reissue in beautiful ICED TEA burst finish! This Gibson Custom Shop R8 is a stunning example of Gibson VOS, or Vintage Original Spec construction. It is a faithful recreation of a grail-status 1958 Gibson Les Paul Burst, with painstaking attention to detail including PAF (Patent Applied For) Custom Buckers, nitro finish, red aniline dye process, bumble-bee capacitors, and hot-hide glued rosewood fretboard!
