My 2003 R7 Goldtop!

dk_dire · 11-10-2010, 09:47 AM

Hey guys,

I posted a week ago about getting my first R7 Goldtop off eBay. I was asked to post pictures because it seems to be the thing to do and I am more than happy to show them. It's a 2003 model, and I am loving this thing!

Sorry for the dodgy lighting and reflections! Wish the winter and low sun weren't here!

Hope you guys like them!

Dale

Congrats! She looks great! R7's are the best value in the historic line imho.

Stunning! Great things going on in that fingerboard wood!

Nice score! Looks brand new.

Nice R7... Looks like it's a refret... Did they put jumbos on it?

Thanks guys! I'm delighted with it!

If it was a refret surely there would be no lacquer at all from the binding on the fret edges? My local luthier always pointed that out to me.

I'm sorry, last night I thought I saw the "nibs" missing... My Bad.

A sweet R7 you have there.

I have a 2003 R7 as well, and it's the pick of my stable, I'm sure yours is a killer too!
