Here's an interesting one! A 2011 Gibson Custom Shop R7 Les Paul in Washed Washed Cherry. This was a limited run and is a very interesting finish that to us looks like a conversion 'Burst! What would have been a Goldtop on this 57 reissue is a very faded out looking Orange/Red burst, and the maple cap has a ton of interesting flame. Everything on the guitar is stock except we upgraded the wiring to an Emerson Wiring Kit complete with new pots and Emerson Bumblebee caps. The stock Burstbuckers sound great and over all this guitar has vibe in spades. It's a Gloss, not VOS finish, so the nitro itself is nice and shiny but some of the hardware shows its age (tuners, bridge, tailpiece) The covers on the pickups are pretty pristine.
This has a typical 2011 era 57 neck, a little chunky with a decent shoulder. It almost has a "D" shape, but it's very comfortable and the frets have plenty of life in them. There are a few small dings, but nothing through the finish. Overall it's in great shape for a 14 year old guitar!
Includes Black Gibson Custom Shop case and COA.
