freak show Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Hey, "R" stands for "re-issue", and "8" means "1958". Here's an R8: http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Gibson-Custom-1958-Les-Paul-Reissue-Plain-Top-VOS-Electric-Guitar?sku=515530 An R9 is a re-issue of the Les Paul from 1959: http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Gibson-Custom-1959-Les-Paul-Standard-VOS-Electric-Guitar?sku=517984 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
