Desirable 90’s Custom Shop Historic ’56 Reissue finished in classic Gold. 

 
It’s in excellent condition for its age with just some minor blemishes on close inspection – most of which are not visible unless shining direct light on them, which we have done in the close-up photos to help to exaggerate them. It’s starting to age beautifully – some very minor lacquer checking as photographed and ageing to the binding which looks fantastic. The frets are in excellent condition and there’s no breaks or repairs.

Articulate and resonant, this R6 is a great example of Gibson Custom Shop quality, and a textbook example of what quality tonewoods are capable of. There are few things finer than the rich warmth of Mahogany paired with a carved Maple top that adds cut and attack. The quartersawn Mahogany neck has a chunky but comfortable early 50’s rounded profile and it has a 1-piece Rosewood fretboard with Pearloid trapezoid inlays, Gibson Deluxe vintage style tuners and a Bigsby tremolo.

The 2x fat-sounding single-coil P-90 pickups are beloved since the 1940s for their aggressive midrange, solid low end, and sparkling, silky highs—with that ever so slightly gritty edge for added cutting power. They have plenty of power when driven, but excellent clean tones when you back off the guitar’s volume controls. 

It comes with its original Custom Historic hardshell case to keep it protected.
