Seller's description

This guitar combines a 1957-spec Goldtop with a Bigsby and Murphy Lab aging treatment, exuding a distinctive, connoisseur-level appeal.

The pickups feature braided shielding wire and a PAF sticker on the back, confirming this is likely a genuine, factory-spec instrument. This guitar combines collectible value with practicality, boasting specifications and a character distinct from the standard R7. Don’t miss this opportunity.

Since this is a model that was originally finished with an aged look, it can be difficult to distinguish between scratches and signs of wear that have developed over time; however, overall,
