Bursts get all the glory, but I LOVE the look of a goldtop! Classy and trashy at the same time, and total rock-n-roll badass! So share the love, and post pics of your golden gal. Here's mine: She started life as a 2007 R6, that I bought specifically to "makeover". Forum member ElectricLloyd reshaped the neck, using Johnnyslim's 52 goldtop as the template for the perfect neck. Next, she was shipped to Canada, where Gord Miller refinished and relic'd her. Gord also relocated the "Gibson" inlay down to the vintage correct location. Eventually, the P-90 hum was just too much, so I had the pickup routes filled and re-cut for humbuckers. She is decked-out in all-1950s parts, except pickup rings. She even proudly wears an original 1953 lefty crème pickguard and 1960 PAFs, and sleeps in a 50's Lifton. She's my keeper!
So, let's see some gold!
