CC#8 "The Beast"是Gibson於2013年發表的限量CC系列，全球限量300支，復刻自已故吉他手Bernie Marsden手中編號9-1914的1959 Les Paul Standard，因擁有像野獸般的音色而命名，他的藍調巨星好友Joe Bonamassa稱"The Beast"是有史以來最好的Les Paul之一，而CC#8也是許多玩家公認前幾代CC音色最為黏密，共鳴最好聽的一款。

原廠採用3D儀器掃描，完整複製了原琴的所有規格、褪色後的Lemon Burst、零件與使用傷痕，就連原琴琴頸的裂痕也複製出來，讓整體細節都盡可能接近原琴。特選桃花心木琴身、瑰木指板，琴頸為Late '50s Neck Profile，手感非常舒適。原廠搭載一組依據原琴PAF數據所設計的Burstbucker #2與#3 Alnico V拾音器，擁有豐富乾淨的中頻且俐落、復古的音色。

From Gibson Custom:

The Collector's Choice #8 1959 Les Paul is called “The Beast” for good reason. It is based off the workhorse guitar owned by legendary Whitesnake rocker, Bernie Marsden, which has been on stages all over the world and had its fair share of wear and tear. Marsden has been in a number of bands besides Whitesnake, plus a vast array of side and solo projects, and his reliable ’59 has been the axe that’s been ripping it up on a number of hits with its signature tone.

Using state-of-the-art digital scanning, Gibson Custom Shop has measured every nuance of the build, along with exact wear characteristics. The electronics and output of the guitar have also been measured with exacting detail so that each reissue can be given the same tonal response. Starting with a similar lightweight mahogany body, the Collector’s Choice #8 is topped with a similarly figured maple cap. A beefy 50’s neck is custom shaped to have a true-to-original profile. Two custom wound pickups, a Burstbucker #2 in the neck and a Burstbucker #3 in the bridge, recreate The Beast’s unique chimey-to-throaty tone range. Finally the guitar is given a “Dirty Lemon” burst finish and a relic treatment that makes it unmistakably a Marsden guitar.

This guitar also features the historic accuracy of Gibson Custom’s 20th Anniversary specs which were introduced in 2013. This includes a single-layer rosewood fingerboard, hot hide glue neck joint, accurate fingerboard and body binding color, historically accurate truss rod assembly, and genuine aniline dye for the guitar’s back, neck, and sides. Also with a nylon 6/6 nut, holly headstock veneer with pearl Gibson logo, reissue Kluson Deluxe tuners, ABR-1 bridge with lightweight aluminum stopbar tailpiece, and Bumble Bee tone caps, the Collector's Choice™ #8 1959 Les Paul is sparing no detail of accuracy.
