Members GreatDane Posted April 7, 2010 Members Share Posted April 7, 2010 the NGD threads continue (see last night's here, and Sunday's here)... this is a most-gorgeous (IMO) 2007 Gibson Custom Shop '60 Reissue (R0) that was done as a plain top for Guitar Center (hence the "G" in the serial #; regular '60 RIs are figured tops). i was very happy to find that the neck carve on these is right in between a stock 60s carve and a fuller 50s carve, and not much thinner than the '59 style that Gibson does. the finish is even more stunning in person; a muted lemon with orange at the outer areas of the body. she weighs just under 9 lbs and has an amazing, articulate tone that even almost gets into tele territory on the bridge PU with tone dimed. i can't wait to get this one over to rehearsal and play through the live rig. here's pics~ enjoy!

Members Bro Blue Posted April 7, 2010 Members Share Posted April 7, 2010 Plain top = sekz fo' sho. If I ever own a Gibson, it will be a plain top, hopefully one as nice as yours. Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Citizen_Insane Posted April 7, 2010 Members Share Posted April 7, 2010 Wow. Now that is my kind of LP. I don't really have a strong desire to own one, but I'd go for something like that in an instant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
