Description
This gorgeous R7 is a faithful recreation of the outstanding Gold Top guitars Gibson produced in the 50's. Featuring historic appointments such as one-piece mahogany neck and body construction, as well as a period-accurate formula for the Gold finish, this guitar takes all of the features that made the original '57 legendary and uses them to recreate a truly convincing vintage playing experience. Professionally set up & ready to play straight out of the case.
