Used and Vintage Electric Guitars

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.

This guitar is in great condition, and has been setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop.  There are a few nicks and dings on the back of the body and one on the neck, from the top is super clean.  It comes with a hardshell case and the certificate of authenticity, making it the complete package.
A Gibson Custom Shop guitar is a special thing, and a Goldtop R7 is seen by many as the cream of the crop.  This one was built in 2008, considered to be a great era for Gibson.  It plays wonderfully and has all of that classic, iconic Les Paul tone you'd ever want.  Get it now before it's gone!
