A seriously impressive Custom Shop R9 here in the ever-popular Ice Tea Burst finish.
Built to recreate the legendary 1959 Les Paul Standard, this 2021 example captures everything that makes the R9 such a special instrument. The top is absolutely stunning, with strong flame figuring running across the maple and plenty of depth and movement as the light catches it. Combined with the lightly aged VOS treatment, it has all the look and feel of a well-loved vintage instrument without the price tag of an original.
The CustomBucker pickups deliver the open, articulate and dynamic tones that players chase from a great Les Paul, while the chunky '59 neck profile feels substantial without ever becoming cumbersome.
Complete with its original Lifton-style hard case, Certificate of Authenticity and original case candy.

Great condition overall. There are a couple of minor dings and small signs of use around the guitar, but nothing significant and certainly nothing that detracts from what is a stunning instrument. The VOS treatment provides the factory-aged appearance to the finish and hardware. A very clean, honest example that has been well looked after.
