Custom Color R7/R8 Historics

Thunderchunk · 01-10-04, 07:57 PM

I've seen some custom color R7s and R8s over the last several years (Music Machine currently has several, although I've seen others elsewhere). In 2003, Gibson did a small run of R7s (I believe) in an all black finish (e.g. both front and back). Has anyone seen any of these around lately?

It seems the black front/natural back combination is relatively common (Mark's had one in stock for a while), but I've never seen an ALL black one new or used for 2003. Anybody know where they are?
