Members Bizze Posted January 7, 2009 Members Share Posted January 7, 2009 The R4, R6, R7 etc nicknames are shorthand for Gibson's model numbers for the Historic reissues. The model numbers are LPR-4, LPR-6, LPR-7. Thanks.. I just wish I could afford one.. Man I'd have to work a long time before I can get a Gibby, that's why I'll probably get a strat first..

Members Wyatt Posted January 7, 2009 Members Share Posted January 7, 2009 Anyone have an older one that's worn and has the green undercoat showing?Man I love that. It's not an undercoat. The original gold top paint used bronze flakes for the color, and when the clear coat wore away (or was cracked off), the bronze tarnishes green. And yes, the tarnish does continue to grow and you have to wipe the fuzz off. The green on my guitar is a little washed out in the pictures I posted, but it's there were the forearm rests, very obvious in person. The "Bullion Gold" finished used on LP Classics is different, it uses gold plated mica, so it won't green. I'm sure most of the imports don't use the original style paint either.

Members guitarlady Posted January 7, 2009 Members Share Posted January 7, 2009 I want my 1st Gibby to be a 56' GT. I drool everytime I look at those. Although I'll probably end up with a faded double cut because I'm a cheap bastard. You had better hurry then. I believe Gibson discontinued the faded doublecut.
