About this listing
Very Good condition, 7,5/10, Made in USA, including original hardcase with papers and COA, the weight is 4,04kg/8.09lbs, the model name in the COA is LP R7 AGED, the finish looks like a VOS with some extra aging and checking done by the factory, very tasteful, but it also has some additional wear from a previous owner including lots of small pressure marks in the back, no fret wear.
Maple top, Mahogany body and neck with single-ply binding, trapezoid inlays, and Gibson Burst Bucker pickups, missing the poker chip (the ring around the 3-way switch), otherwise all original, the 2011 R7s typically featured Burstbucker pickups, long neck tenons, and dark indian rosewood fretboards, more info from Gibson:
The 1957 Les Paul Goldtop from Gibson Custom is a near-perfect recreation of the original instrument, in all of its original brilliance and historical magnificence. The body features Gibson’s traditional hand-carved maple top and solid, non-weight relieved mahogany body.
The headstock is made from Holly head veneer, as opposed to fiber, just like it was in 1957, and the vintage-style tulip tuners are mounted in a straight line, also as they were on the original. The 24 ¾-inch scale length neck is made from one solid piece of mahogany, and attached to the body using a long neck tenon — one of the Les Paul’s more distinguishing characteristics of the 1950s. The neck is topped by a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard outfitted with acrylic trapezoid inlays matching the size and color of the originals.
Of course, two of Gibson’s legendary Burstbucker pickups deliver all the subtle variations of true, classic humbucker tone by using historically “unmatched” bobbin windings and Alnico II magnets. The guitar’s Antique Gold finish also matches the hue of the original model, giving this Custom Shop model the accurate and distinct appearance of this traditional Les Paul.
Other historical appointments include CTS potentiometers, bumble bee capacitors, rolled crème-colored fingerboard binding, single-ply thin binding around the body, and period-correct switch washer and jackplate.
