Gibson 1958 Les Paul Standard VOS, Painted-Over Series, Black over Burst Aged (Trade In)

This extremely cool and rare R8 is from a very limited run in 2017 of 'painted over' goldtops and bursts.
The finish features black lacquer over Cherry Sunburst, with factory-applied aging revealing the underlying sunburst through worn areas. Exposed colour along the body edges and back of the neck, together with finish checking, creates the appearance of a well-played vintage instrument. These aging details are part of the original factory finish. A major collector’s model, it’s one of just 50 examples worldwide. It's kind of impossible to believe it isn't weight relieved but it is in fact not. Sings like a bird and is in the condition it left the factory in. Lifton brown hardshell case included.
