Anyone think they might be interested in a 56 Reissue Lester goldtop, light brown back. This is one of the first reissue. I think it was a 1990, i'll have to go look at the serial number. Brown lester case, pink lined.

I'll include two sets of pups, the original gibbies and a set of p90's that mj wound up for it (maybe 2 mj wound sets). Pots are original. Tonepros locking bridge in place , old bridge included.

Condition: has a few minor dings on back, not too many dings on the front. I've not messed with it in a long time so I'll have to go over with a fine tooth comb and take photos. There are some minor cracks in teh neck binding up around the 12-15 range. I believe the previous owner didn't oil his fretboard and this causes the binding to crack. I kept the rosewood oiled all the time and the cracks never got any worse. I can document them (they are tiny) in pictures.


Pricing: $1800

Tempting but I think I'll be hunting a 58/9RI sometime this summer.

I need a little sumthin sumthin to put my Antiquity set in.
 
Re: 56RI Goldie Lester

Someone has put in first dibs it appears. I'll hopefully know something soon. :) But if anyone else wants to contact me, feel free to.

Too bad I just bought a house Scott... that's one of the guitars I have to add to my collection one of these days. Best of luck!
 
Re: 56RI Goldie Lester

if its anything like my r6, yeah, really chunky. the r4-8 usually have a really meaty neck that i love. the r9's are usually smaller but still decent size, the 1960 ri get skinny
 
Re: 56RI Goldie Lester

No love for the R6. Is it overpriced? I need to find out what new ones are running.
 
Re: 56RI Goldie Lester

Haha. checked new prices. Nope, not overpriced at all. And, this wood has aged well. I promised to post photos tonight or all hell is going to break loose in my head.
 
Re: 56RI Goldie Lester

****! If I wan't buying a car, I'd be all over this.

Awesome price for an awesome axe, Scott. The extra goodies pus it over the top, IMHO.
