2003 Tonequest Les Paul TQR

This model was commissioned by the editors of Tonequest magazine. They were looking for a model to put their moniker on when Edwin Wilson of the Gibson C/S suggested making a model based on the oxblood, but with a gold top. They didn't make many, mine is from the first batch of 5, the only batch with Brazilian rosewood fretboards. I believe these were sold only through Dave's in Lacrosse, WI.

I've put a bridge, posts, truss rod cover and screws from a 1954 GT. The tuners are from a '61 LP Standard and the knobs are off of a '56GT.
