Yeah, in the book Beauty of the Burst (abbrev.= BOTB) there's a "blacktop." Actually, it's completely black- neck, back, and all. It has black knobs replacing the gold, but still has creme pup rings, guard, & switchplate. I think it's a pretty sweet look, but then again I like most LPs I've seen. :hippy59FAN said:wow!! there's 59s like that? cool. is there any precedent to painting just the tops black? were there any original 58s or 59s like that?
thanks...jimmy
