'58 reissue LP

[Grathan]

I didn't even plug it in, didn't even take it off the hook at the guitar store. Why would I have? I wan't even shopping for a LP. Yet I am thinking about the way that string resounded after I plucked it. The massive amount of vibration that resounded up the back of the neck and throughout the whole guitar.



I have a feeling that this guitar is special. I wasn't planning on getting a real Les Paul for another 5 years at least. My Agile LP copy has tons of sustain and what I really want is a super strat.

Can someone please tell me that this is just your basic Gibson reissue and there will be many more just like it in the years to come? thanks

Sounds like a special one, you better go get it.

They do vary. I've owned 2 R8s and one is the tone king for sure!!

Just happened to get one just because I'm tired of kicking myself over the one that got away. I know that's no help but they're great players.

When I run across a guitar that has that physical resonance it gets my attention. It was that way with the 58 Custom Authentic LP I ended up with. It's electronics weren't really up to snuff but WCR & RS took care of that.

Buy it. I just bought one off the emporium and thus far it has not had "it" for me. If you have already felt so, you got the right one.

In my case I bought due to predominantly a great price and having the cash in hand, a perfect storm. And I will work with it til submission. So I'm not giving up.

On the other hand, maybe I just need to try a few others and see if a gem turns up.

Due Historic/VOS Gibsons vary, sure they do however I fell that they are a cut (or 2, maybe 3!) above most Standard Gibsons...if you can't swing a high dollar axe today then don't put yourself in a spot to get one and don't stress over it, just save and get one later on.
