I understand where you're coming from. I hated them for years & thought they were piss-yellow eyesores.

 

I bought an Agile goldtop as a way to get into P90s. I figured it was cheap & I wouldn't have to look at it while playing.

I wound up loving the look. I actually started lurking on the Les Paul forum just to see the old vintage goldtops.

 

On a related note, I also used to hate the look of Fender guitars in shell pink & surf green. Now I really like them.

It started its life as a stock 69RI Thinline. I had fellow HC member and ReFin Guru, Don DiMasi (aka Shovelhead) finsih the top in gold and he painted faux cream binding on it as well. Then he routed the neck for a bucker. I had pickguardian.com make me a single ply cream guard for it and added a dimarzio PAF classic and a 3-way toggle for series/split/parallel wiring.
