Pre Owned 2008 Gibson Custom Shop R7 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Electric Guitar With OHSC

We have an iconic Gibson Custom Shop guitar to offer up, the classic R7 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue. This is a heartfelt recreation of the vintage instrument that would change the face of music. Released in 1957, this was the first Les Paul  to come with the life-changing pickups, humbuckers!  The world has never been the same since.

 

This Les Paul features a beautiful Goldtop finish, accented beautifully by cream binding and matching cream pickguard.  The mahogany body and maple top creates a super resonant guitar, anchored by a stopbar tailpiece and ABR-1 bridge.  The neck is beefy, as to be expected (if you're looking for a super slim neck, this just isn't the one).  It's a one-piece mahogany neck, also perfectly accented with cream binding, with tortoise side-dots.  The gorgeous Madagascar Rosewood fingerboard caught our eye right away - the figuring on it is striking, and it's outfitted with with mother of pearl trapezoid inlays.  It has a 1 11/16" nut width and 24 3/4" scale length.   For electronics, the stock Gibson '57 Classic Humbuckers with cream bezels & nickel covers and in tact.  The guitar has dual volume & tone controls with gold "top hat" knobs, a 3-way toggle switch and Bumble Bee caps.
