I like to collect interesting guitars, and this is one of the best. VOS, mint, unplayed condition, kept in a humidity controlled environment. Comes with COA, case and all original case candy. The pictures are of the actual guitar. Like an R7, but better. Read the reviews. The gold top is deeper and more stunning than stock R7s, and the black stinger on the headstock is just amazing. This is one of the few guitars where Custom Shop allowed someone other than Gibson to make the pick-ups. The Ron Ellis pick-ups alone go for over $650 and take months to have made.From Gibson:Gibson’s Custom Shop introduces the Lee Roy Parnell Signature ’57 Les Paul Goldtop, a guitar that boasts the classic look of a vintage ’57 Goldtop, but benefits from ingenious updates to make it a true player’s guitar. Put simply, the Lee Roy Parnell Signature ’57 Les Paul Goldtop is one of the most innovative guitars to come from the Custom Shop design team. Built from the ground up in collaboration with Lee Roy Parnell, with a firm focus on performance, it is the result of a dedicated emphasis on creating exceptional tone in a guitar that also will prove the most comfortable, playable instrument you own. All materials are hand-selected by Lee Roy in a small batch process that requires every guitar to pass through his hands, and the feature set—from hardware to custom-wound PAF-style humbuckers—exhibits a carefully thought-out process that results in a great-sounding, great-feeling guitar. The Ron Ellis custom-wound Humbuckers loaded into the guitar are Lee Roy’s own personal choice of PAF-style pickup, and are the result of an extensive metallurgical study of vintage Gibson PAFs from the ’50s. Their meticulous design and construction results in a throaty tone with plenty of vintage-PAF bite and clarity with added depth and punch. The guitar’s electonics benefit further from high-quality CTS pots and NOS 1960s ceramic capacitors. The entire package is locked down with the classic pairing of ABR-1 bridge and lightweight stopbar tailpiece, and a PLEK-cut nylon nut that retains vintage-voiced resonance and sustain. A set of vintage-style Gotoh™ tuners with green tulip keys completes the package.
