Here's my baby. My 2003 LP Std. Goldtop. She was one dirty guitar when she arrived a few weeks ago. So here she is after some cleaning and polish.

Old damage:

Before restringing it. (These are Fender Bullets by the way)

The jackplate was broken by the former owner. So I took care of that pretty fast.

Before:

After:

These are all so amazing! And now for something completely different... Sort of... This is my 08 R6. It has been heavily modded with real bumblebees, Lollar P90s, RS superpots and Kluson tone pro tuners.

I have an gloss black pick guard on order but I am liking how this looks so I am not sure I going to want to install it.

Nice GT Adwex!

What did you do to the fretboard, it's so dark.

Going to look at a goldtop R4 this weekend... An '07 in close to new condition, which I hope to bring home with me.

If there are Goldtops in Heaven, he's playing one.

My concern is that the entire back is gold and I thought the backs were dark in color, like Mahogany. I did send the pics to Gibson to review, I just haven't heard back from them yet.

I'm looking for my first electric guitar and don't want to get smoked by a fake.

On the same site I found what is being advertised as a Gibson Peter Frampton LP (one is black, the other is white) and they both have the same S/N on the back w/ Frampton's supposed signature in gold writing on them.

Thanks for helping me out.

Man, it´s a fake one, that´s for sure!!!!

My R7 united with a '57

I think this should be the thread to ask this question:

Are there any R6 Darkbacks?

I´m really gasing for a Reissue Goldtop with a dark back but I also want a p90 guitar.
Have never seen one really.
Any pics?

If I buy it, would you trade me for that stunning R9 of yours?
