SOLD!! Gibson 2008 R7 Goldtop darkback - price drop to £1,700

fretfinder

SOLD!! R7 Goldtop darkback for sale or trade. If you want a minter look away now as this has been played (cliche alert: "as all the good ones are") and has a few small marks here and there and some buckle rash but nothing serious. It has a shugzloom fitted and the pickups are BKP Stormy Mondays, so it sounds fantastic. It weighs 9lbs 2oz so it is a decent weight for one of these. It comes with Gibson Custom hard case, COA and some candy. The back looks black in my rubbish phone pic but it's actually dark brown and translucent so you can see the wood grain.

I'm looking for £1,850 ono £1,700 firm. I may trade for a Fender Custom Shop Strat/Tele, Gibson Historic LP or 59 reissue 335, Gibson or Martin acoustic, or a handwired amp, cash either way if appropriate. 

I'm based in Salisbury in Wiltshire but work in London several days a week. I'm not keen to post it but would ship it UPS uninsured at cost if required. That's how my aged Goldtop R6 was shipped to me, very well-packed, and it arrived safe and sound. I think they only insure up to £1000 anyway.

Thanks for looking.

Anyone? Those Stormy Monday's sure are great sounding pickups!

AndyR

Much wisdom - Stormy Mondays - I have them in a Traditional and in a 61RI SG.

But I'm having to type this with my hands over my eyes so that I don't keep seeing this gorgeous guitar. Alas, I've spent more than I should on gits already this year, otherwise I would be sorely tempted...

Good luck with the sale :-)

How chunky is the chunky neck?

fretfinder

It's a typical R7 neck - not the hugest one out there, a nice handful but manageable.
