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.
