New Limited R5: 1955 NAMM Show Commemorative Edition

[mikeslub]

Nice! It's hard to tell in the pics but aren't these supposed to have a metallic finish? Similar to goldtops?

I read an article in VG a good while back that featured a 50s copper iridescent LP. Tbe photos did have the metallic finish.

I don't have the guitar in front of me, but by recall it does have a bit of metallic characteristics. Will look again closely tonight when I play it.

Can't wait to get my Viceroy Brown model. I've been hunting for pictures of them in the wild! Was a bit of a punt buying one unseen, but I was in the market for an R6 and figured why not. Worst case it's an R6 with a semi-unique paint job

I've actually played 2 of the original 5. Crazy that 2 of them turned up fairly local. The one Willies had more recently had a nasty headstock break.
