Jimmy Wallace, Tom Murphy and the late Edwin Wilson have been friends for many years.  Tom has verified that the finish on this guitar is "double gold with bronze powder". In a specific conversation about the build on this guitar before his passing, Edwin Wilson, the wood buyer for Gibson, including this project, stated that information published about the "prototype for the Brazilian run not having a Brazilian fingerboard was erroneous. He further stated that this assumption had been based on inconsistent, informal notes and made by individuals that were not employed by Gibson at that time. He confirmed, without hesitation that R7 Serial Number 7 3001 was equipped with an authentic Brazilian fingerboard. This is the first guitar of this limited run in 2003. It looks, sounds and plays incredible. Includes original case, as shown. Nu
