kidblast Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 you are SO helpful!! LOL! not likely however as we just had to replace our washer and dryer.. So there's that........ but, in time,, in time... I would love to have another gold top, last one was a 73 deluxe that I bought when I was in high school. (it was either that or an AMC Gremlim, didn't buy the car, turns out, I made the right choice.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPguitarman Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 That's a beauty. Now you have to decide which one to play. Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dog Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 That's a beauty. Now you have to decide which one to play. Congrats. Yep, that would be tough. But I plan on setting the R7 up with 10-52's tuned in D standard for some stuff I like to play, so that should make it easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derek R Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 If that gold top is half as good as my r7 gold top then you’ll have a blast with it. My r7 gold top is my go to guitar I’m no way any sort of player,but when I pick that guitar up it just sits in my hands and plays easily even for me.have fun. Cheers derekr.

Black Dog Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 Thanks to everyone for the remarks. It's been a few days now and I've played it at least an hour everyday. I have it setup with 10-52s and tuned in D standard. This thing roars. Tone, sustain, feel, sound, it's got it all. To be fair, so does my R0. After all, other than the finish, they're nearly identical. They both have Wildwood spec Custombuckers that are slightly under-wound and they sound amazing. I have to say, to those who have said the Custom Shop is putting out poor quality, at least in my experience, that is absolutely not the case. And in fact, I just don't believe it.

derek R Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I thought r7s came with 57 classic pickups,i though that’s what’s on mine,will need to check that.if it is 57 classics they absolutely rock and i wouldn’t change them out for anything else.all my Gibson’s are stock and i don’t see the need to change anything on them as that is how Gibson built them.

pippy Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I thought r7s came with 57 classic pickups... The reissues have been made using a variety of different pickups over the years. They used to be fitted with 57 Classics but, more recently, have come with the likes of Burstbuckers, Custombuckers and so on. FWIW my R9 and R0 both have 57 Classics and I love them. I wouldn't swap them out for anything else. I don't know if there are more 'Vintage' sounding PAF clones available - there probably are - but as the ones I have sound superb why change? Pip.

I have 57 Classics in my SG and would never change them. IMO, they are fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
