I came across a 1989 '57 reissue goldtop today. Lame HB-R humbuckers, Antique Gold finish, 9 0xx serial number, short neck tenon, chrome hardware, fairly light. I can't seem to find this model in any of the books. Anyone ever heard of it?

Yes, I've seen photos of one and authenticated it for another LP owner, so I know they are out there. Those Bill Lawrence "circuit board" type humbuckers are not my favorite pickups. :)

Yeah, Iwasnt too happy to see those in there. Fairly thin neck too. It's closer to an LP Classic than to a R7 in my opinion.
