Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Historic R9 – 2004 – Excellent Condition – Highly Figured “Good Wood Era” Top – Includes Original Case & COA
The 2004 Gibson Custom Shop Historic R9 Les Paul is a prime example of the revered “Good Wood Era”—a period (roughly 2003–2006) celebrated by collectors and players for the exceptional flame maple tops, lightweight mahogany, and attention to vintage-correct specs. This 1959 Les Paul Reissue (R9) features a beautifully bookmatched flame maple top with tight, three-dimensional grain that truly lives up to the era’s reputation. Finished in a rich vintage-style burst with tasteful aging and deep gloss, this R9 not only sounds the part but looks incredible doing it.
The guitar features a solid one-piece mahogany body, a flame maple top, and a long neck tenon—all hallmark specs of the Custom Shop Historic series. The one-piece mahogany neck is carved to an accurate 1959 rounded profile, incredibly comfortable and fast, and the rosewood fingerboard offers that classic Les Paul feel with vintage-style binding and trapezoid inlays. Loaded with a set of Burstbucker 1 & 2 pickups, this R9 delivers all the bite, clarity, and warmth you expect from a vintage-style Les Paul—perfect for blues, rock, jazz, and beyond.
