Gibson R8 Les Paul Standard Cherry Burst 2007

On September 12, 2023 /

The Gibson R8 Les Paul Standard is a faithful re-creation of the early, legendary Burst models that featured the then-newly invented humbucking pickups. Introduced in late 1957, these new ‘Standard’ models also replaced the original metallic gold top finish with a sunburst. The Les Paul Custom also carried the new hardware, but kept its black finish and gold hardware.

Gibson ES-339 Thinline Memphis Tobacco Sunburst, 2011

On July 28, 2023 /

The Gibson ES-339 was built from 2007 until the Gibson Memphis plant closed in 2019, and the 339 is now built in Nashville with some small changes. In 1996, Gibson launched the short-lived ES-336, a scaled-down version of the classic ES-335. This model retained the key playability elements of the 335 in terms of scale length, fingerboard width and hardware selection.

Gibson CS Les Paul Florentine Vintage Sunburst, 1997

On June 20, 2023 /

Built from 1995 to 1999 and eventually becoming the ES Les Paul, the Gibson CS Les Paul Florentine blends features from the Les Paul custom into a heavily chambered, dual F-hole model. From a distance, the Gibson CS Les Paul Florentine looks like a nicely appointed Les Paul Custom. Closer examination shows the two F-holes – though some few variants, like the Korina Florentine had solid tops – indicating that the construction is based on a heavily routed Mahogany back with a Maple top.
