Should I refinish 1969 Deluxe?

No razor checking on this me, it's all natural checking (which is done in a deep freeze I suppose). It looks very convincing.

I'd leave it as it is. It looks nice, probably sounds better and more importantly, it tells your story. There's a whole lot of gold tops out there and not too many 'drunken evening blondes'.

Another vote to leave it as is, it looks great. :jim

Sell it to somebody who'd drool over those age lines. Buy a new shiny one. I think you are coming down with new guitar syndrome(NGS). You just have the sniffles now but it will materialize into the final stages soon.

What are the PU rings in the second set of pics? The are more ivory than the first.

I would say: go for whatever option you want/like the most, especially as it's for your own enjoyment and you don't have any sell plan.
If I were having such guitar I'd take it as a rare chance to get a guitar in the color I want, especially if you'd ever like to have a rare / custom color LP (I'm thinking of Cody's red LP for instance).
Btw, Danelectro your RS refin one looks really great!
