My new Gibson Les Paul 58 Mark Knopfler came to me last saturday! A wonderful piece of gear!

Stunning looks and sounds very woody.

What are the differences to the R8?
I don't have a clue... never played a R8.
As it seems, it's build to MK's specifications, and, in my opinion, he has a very distinctive and gorgeous sound on his original '58 LP. All original bursts are very different...
Nevertheless, I'm very happy with this guitar. Perhaps, it's all about psychology... this guitar made me play with my fingers, something I usually don´t do. But here, it seems so easy and smooth to generate different sounds and colours...
Congrats. Looks and sounds fantastic
traditional limited plain top...a masterpiece!

The tone is fantastic of course!
And I like this understatement guitars with plain tops and without quilt and other foolish things.
Simple beauty and good sound. That's enough, like yours and this one of @Ale!
So I felt I needed a new guitar and have wanted one of the ugliest guitars ever made. The kicker here is that it might be the most comfortable and best playing guitars I have ever played. I also just had to go for it when I noticed it did not have the Dream Theater inlay and all other fret marker were gone. Yes I am too lazy to take pictures myself.... the attached pic is the supplied pic from sweetwater of my very guitar.
Congrats.
I love the necks on music man guitars. They seem to play so much easier than anything else.

Its *not* ugly! Its not to my (wooden) taste, but looks pleasing, unique, well-made, ergonomically - and the colour is way cool.
Here comes my latest project: an electric resonator based on the kit from ML-factory. The wooden pieces fitted nicely, but needed serious sanding and staining. Later I jstruggeled with a mix-knob for the piezo and the magnetic PU. My first attempt was an active solution, but it sounded like crap. So now I wired two passive volumes and a passive treble for the piezo. No *master* volume and mix like a Gretsch, but thats working! Finish is just rubbed out Tru-Oil, no polishing and yet somehow shiny. I Gretschified the headstock to direction of a Falcon. The wing inlay is aluminium and epoxy.
Looks Awesome! You've done a great job.
Spinner, your guitars are all pure beauties!!! Love them all, awesome woody finish. I'd surely need one. Congrats dude
I've been honoured to have seen all three woody beauties before you guys (just as bad as name-dropping, isn't it?!), and I wholeheartedly concur.
Spinner, as if it isn't obvious, all your guitars have been pure eye candy for wood lovers, period.
Wow, I agree with Nicky, @SpinnerDeluxe. You should start building guitars for other people too (hint hint)

Overwhelming response! Thank you people! I am sick enough to see only little flaws and unperfect detail when something is finished. While this is good to learn from and do it better next time, its really great and motivating to hear that you like the overall result.
I do only build stuff I really cant buy elsewhere. If I counted the workinghours those handmade axes would be unreasonably expensive...

Wow!! Stunning guitar, and wonderful tone. The great playing helps too. Listened to the whole thing, then googled the lyrics, started it again and had a sing-along, lol. I'm incredibly jealous

Is the fretboard between 2nd - 12th frets on lower strings made of different color intentionally?
