For what ever it may be worth, long ago in the mid 1990s, Stan Jay (Mandolin Bros.) told me there was a 1960 Gold Top. But after 25 years I may be confusing this with the known 1959 Gold Top.

Thanks gents

I remember reading something about Lenny Kravitz playing a 59 goldtop in some guitar magazine back when I was a kid. I looked it up on google and found a Guitar World interview in which he also states using a 59 Goldtop, here’s the link:

There’s also a nice photo of him on his Facebook page with some (I guess) vintage les pauls on his sofa, I wonder if it’s the 59 goldtop laying behind him. The back of the guitar seems to have a bit lighter color than 9 0225 though…

I'm guessing all the money went to vintage guitars and he found the sofa at the curb?

I don't know about the sofa but I'll bet the reefer in the ashtray was not purchased at the curb.
