Re: NGD: Gibson CS R6 Goldtop heavy aged

Neck is what I'd consider middle of the road for a chunky Gibson neck. Bigger than modern "50s" style neck. But the fretwork, aging and set-up was absolutely spot on. It felt like an old neck that had been played heavily. Lack of fretwear was the only real giveaway. Pickups were lower out...

Re: NGD: Gibson CS R6 Goldtop heavy aged

Congrats! Had been watching that one for a while. The one thing I like with relics is the non-need to be precious with them, probably not going to be an “oh shit” moment when it gets its first knock or ding Oh and thanks for the reminder I need to get a Goldtop back in my stable. Enjoy :) Yeh but f...

Rob, in totality I think you’ve played it more than I have (plugged in any way)

You’re a bit more of a Gibson / Les Paul buff than I

What’s your take on the neck, description wise ?

How did you find the pickups ?

Re: NGD: Gibson CS R6 Goldtop heavy aged

NGD: Gibson CS R6 Goldtop heavy aged

Well here we are again. A gold top was my initial Gibson desire and a few have passed by over the last year or so but Rob had encouraged me to wait for an R variety, quite wisely. There was some skullduggery afoot with this purchase. I won't go into details but the upshot is tho I lost the TM auctio...

Re: Gear Quests!
