Members vintage clubber Posted September 1, 2006 Members Share Posted September 1, 2006 Originally posted by BootRoots 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. that guitar is the tits, boots!

Members GAS Man Posted September 1, 2006 Members Share Posted September 1, 2006 Originally posted by TheDove Don't get me wrong I love my LP Standard (in lovely honeyburst) and IMHO I think the Les Paul is the best guitar in the world but I just don't like gold tops - am I mad ? NoThey had to grow on me.I kinda wished I'd bought the LP Deluxe in gold when MF was blowing them out for $1500 a while back.I have a carved arched top Fender Custom Tele Special in Aztec Gold that I think is real nice looking. Same deal basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members metalheadUK Posted September 1, 2006 Members Share Posted September 1, 2006 I never used to like them....for me it was always a 'burst LP.Then I bought a LP Classic gold top and it is an awesome guitar....I even think the gold sort of suits the Classic piss green inlays that are in it.: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SteelyD2 Posted September 1, 2006 Members Share Posted September 1, 2006 Originally posted by BootRoots some of us just appreciate the finer things.... I've always thought that was, quite possibly, the classiest Tele I've ever seen. Do you have any clips? I have thought about doing something similar; '69 Thinline body & 'guard, dual Gibby-style HBs, 24-3/4" scale, one vol./one tone/3-way/no taps; and I'm curious how that thinline body interacts with a real HB.Thanks for sharing,D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Filter500 Posted September 1, 2006 Members Share Posted September 1, 2006 I like them but it has to have a slightly satin nitro thing going on. Also a darker more orange gold is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A thread on the Les Paul forum- if you cover the rest of the guitar and leave the inlays out in the sun for a few days, they turn clear.Oh, and I love Goldtops. One of my dream guitars is a goldtop Les Paul with P90s and a Bigsby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my dream guitars is a goldtop Les Paul with P90s and a Bigsby. Yeah, I've read that too. I'm not really bothered to be honest....I prefer the non green inlays, but I bought it to play so no worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SammyT Posted September 2, 2006 Members Share Posted September 2, 2006 I think the colour is vile. Just my opinion but Id much rather prefer an LP in a dark wine red with gold hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BlackCat Posted September 2, 2006 Members Share Posted September 2, 2006 Originally posted by leopardstar nope, can't stand them. i think they look tacky and somehow cheap, like a hooker trying to look all dressed up:( My last two guitars were gold tops. I like em a lot. But then I am partial to floozies too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
