2007 Gibson R8/CR8 Chambered Les Paul Historic Reissue/ Cherry Sunburst VOS

A sweet, easy-playing, and great-sounding chambered R8 Historic Reissue.

This LP plays extremely well and has a slightly more open, "airer" sound than my other, non-chambered Les Pauls. Overall I'd say VG+ condition to allow for the usual light pick marks on the guard and some very minor dings on the back of the body and high on the back of the neck (detailed photos available @ link). No cracks, major dents, or repairs ever.

I have a preference for 50s-style necks, but this one is not a "baseball bat." Its rounded shoulders are very comfortable to play. Currently set up perfectly with 10-46 strings with low action and no fret buzz. Plenty of life left on the frets. OHSC, COA, and all case candy included, of course.

WEIGHT: 7 lbs. 14 oz.
NUT: 1.69"
NECK @ FIRST FRET: .098"
NECK @ 12th FRET: 1.08"

I'm a long-time lurker here. Extensive references on TGP, 100% rating on eBay and 5-stars on Reverb.

Motivated seller, and this should really go to someone who can appreciate a great Les Paul. Please feel free to hit me up with a reasonable offer, more pictures, references, etc. No trades, please.
