'BOURBON BURST '. SURELY ONE OF THE NICEST R8's IN THE COUNTRY ! NICE WEIGHT FOR AN R8 ! SAVE HUGE ON A NEW R8 ! 1958 REISSUE. GORGEOUS DEEP AND RICH AUTUMN SHADES TO THE BURST ! In the 50s Gibson used to use Aluminum for their Les Paul tailpieces… They changed that practice to reduce costs and their guitars now sport zinc tailpieces.
