Gibson has occasionally released "Figured Top" versions of their R8 model, and this particular guitar was part of a 2011 special series with unique features.

This '58 Les Paul reissue showcases a stunning Flame Maple top, a slimmer neck profile reminiscent of a '59 Les Paul reissue, and a distinctive "Stinger" on the back of the headstock. The Burstbucker pickups deliver open, clear, and bright tones that sound excellent whether played clean or with distortion.
