At 9.22 lb, it sits right in the classic R8 wheelhouse—substantial without feeling like an anchor—and it balances beautifully on a strap for comfortable long sessions and full-set gigs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition is Excellent with minimal fret wear, minor finish scratches\/polishing swirls and minor indentations on the backside, and an extremely clean top. It plays incredibly well with low action and a lively, resonant acoustic response that translates into a big, harmonically rich amplified voice. Includes the original case and COA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePlain-Top Power, Vintage-Correct Attitude\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe magic of a great R8 isn’t about flashy figure—it’s about the feel and the fundamental. This one delivers that no-nonsense ’58 vibe with a look that’s tasteful, classic, and stage-ready, letting the Factory Burst finish do the talking while the guitar handles the heavy lifting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThat Big Neck Feel (The Good Kind)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you like your necks with some real shoulder, this is home base. The ’58-style profile encourages a relaxed fretting hand, feels rock-solid for bending, and makes rhythm parts hit with extra confidence—especially when you’re leaning into big chords and dynamic right-hand work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eResonance You Can Feel Before You Plug In\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrum it unplugged and you’ll hear it immediately: a lively midrange punch, firm low end, and a top end that stays sweet instead of spiky. Plugged in, that translates into chewy sustain, vocal lead tones, and the kind of note separation that keeps complex chords sounding expensive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2016 Gibson Custom 1958 Reissue (R8) with serial R8 60276\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFactory Burst finish with an extremely clean top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9.22 lb—classic R8 heft with a stable, confidence-inspiring feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent condition with minor backside finish scratches\/polishing swirls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimal fret wear for a smooth, fast-playing experience up the neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow action and plays incredibly well—ready for stage or studio right away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResonant, lively acoustic response that translates into big amplified tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes original case and Certificate of Authenticity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gibson Custom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543601774888,"sku":"GIB-LP-R8-FAC-BURST","price":4450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/4225\/2328\/files\/gibson_customshop_1958reissue_R8_factoryburst.png?v=1773769019","url":"https:\/\/altitudeguitar.myshopify.com\/products\/2016-gibson-custom-1958-reissue-washed-cherry","provider":"Altitude Guitar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
