Gibson Les Paul Standard '08 Edition - AS NEW - SOLD!

Desert Burst - Made in Nashville TN August 2010

The 2008 Gibson Les Paul Standard, Desert Burst combines the look of a original Les Paul Standard with modern appointments, making the 2008 Gibson Les Paul Standard the ultimate workhorse Les Paul.

Gibson have hand-carved the figured maple top on a matched chambered mahogany body designed to reduce weight but retain the full tone you've come to expect from a Les Paul Standard guitar. The maple top is surrounded by single-ply antique cream binding and the Les Paul Standard '08 features a locking jack socket to stop accidental un-plugging while you're rocking away. The new Gibson Les Paul Standard also has better tuning stability than previous models as it features locking machineheads.

Another new feature of the 2008 Les Paul Standard is the asymmetrical neck carve, crafted from a single piece of mahogany, making it one of the most comfortable neck shapes offered on any Les Paul. It is slightly 'meatier' on the thumb-side and slimmer on the bottom edge, and feels incredibly comfortable through many modern playing styles. The BurstBucker Pro pickups have high-power Alnico V magnets that deliver an enhanced tone with more bite and brilliance, dialing down to rich and warm vintage tones just as well.

This is an amazing guitar, professionally set up with 10's complete with all case candy in absolute mint condition having been unplayed since it was purchased late 2010.

Gibson Reverse Flying V. Ltd Edition first run - SOLD

The Gibson Reverse Flying V is a limited-edition guitar based upon the concept of the iconic Gibson Flying V style. To achieve the "reverse" style, the body of the guitar is rotated 180 degrees relative to the original Flying V.

First produced in 2007 as a guitar of the week (week 29) with a run of only 400. These are distinguished from later releases which have brass 'bell' truss rod covers. Again released by Gibson in 2008, 900 were made total: 300 in Natural finish, 300 in Ebony and 300 Classic White.

This is the first reverse flying V made by Gibson, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the original flying V, however it is the second Gibson guitar to have such a headstock, which was borrowed and scaled down from the 1957 Gibson Moderne Prototype. The reverse flying v features a solid mahogany body, and an ebony fretboard. It has hand-wound Gibson '57 Classic Pickups and a single volume knob.

The guitar has been Pro Setup here at the 12th Fret Workshop (Winchelsea, East Sussex) and subsequently plays very well with minimal relief in the neck, a good action height and 100% accurate intonation.

Click here for more images..

Serial Number 83347645

The Thunderbird’s unique “reversed” zig-zag body design and equally distinct headstock was the brainchild of legendary automotive designer and visionary Ray Dietrich, enlisted by Gibson to bolster the guitar lines of the early ’60s and help solidify the company’s eminent rank among solidbody electric guitar manufacturers.

The most highly respected of all Gibson basses, the Thunderbird was reissued in 1987. This Thunderbird Custom Shop edition is one of the first and has never been gigged, in completely original condition with the original hard case and would make a great addition to any Bass collection.

In very good Used condition. Completely original with G&G hardcase. Minimal fretwear. The guitar has a couple of very small marks/knocks on the base of the guitar as pictured, these are nothing out of the ordinary for a used guitar and in my opinion do not need any repair work.
