Description

This 2001 Gibson Custom Shop 1956 (R6) reissue is very cool and rather unusual. It's finished all gold from the factory. Most R6 Gibsons have a gold top with a natural finished neck and back. Maybe this guitar was custom ordered? It's a great sounding and playing R6 with a big, chunky D shaped neck. Speaking of the neck, the fretboard on this thing is very cool. The P-90s sound balanced and have the classic sound they're known for. The guitar comes with the original COA and hard case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
