Up for sale is a special/limited run Wildwood Spec Gibson Custom Shop Historic Reissue 1957 "Blacktop". This is one of the Limited Special Run guitars ordered and made exclusively for Wild Wood Guitar in Colorado. This is essentially a '57 Goldtop, but with a few factory mods:
** Blacktop
** Tone Pros locking Tailpiece, with long studs and anchors
** Lightweight body...8 lbs, 4.5 ounces.
** .935" 1st fret depth, with a very comfortable "C"shape neck.
** Lifton brown 6 latch case, with pink lining and a WILDWOOD SPEC badge

The guitar is in very good condition. Some finish hazing on the nitro on the black top keeps it from being excellent.  But no paint damage, chips or cracking. This '57 Blacktop has no dings or dents and has just some very minor marks on the back. The neck, headstock, tuners and frets are like new. The only change was the original owner switched out the pickups for Seymour Duncan SH1N and SH1B pickups. To me they sound just like the Custom Buckers in my R8.....
