Members Elias Graves Posted June 12, 2010 Members Share Posted June 12, 2010 Can anyone explain to me what I'm missing by NOT buying one of these and sticking with my faded double cut special? Whats that Maple top and extra body mass gonna do to the sound. I ask, because my cheapie LP special is the BEST sounding p90 guitar I have ever played...sounds better than my old '66 SG junior I had, and my loaner '54black beauty reissue. Hows this gonna sound compared with say an LP junior? I'm interested.... I doubt you'd hear a difference through an amp. Your shoulder might notice though.

Members ArKay Posted June 13, 2010 Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 Betcha there'll be {censored} all, as it's missing some of the key stuff that Gibson falls over on sometimes, same way as no one bitched about the QC on the BFG I bitch My BFG Gary Moore is in dire need of a fret level.

Members tomh777 Posted June 13, 2010 Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 I was able to pre-order a Goldtop from a local mom & pop here about a month ago. Now I see that GC is finally making them available in store only. At least a month since I placed my order. I wonder if Gibson released this to independents first rather than the big chains like MF, Zounds, Sam Ash, due to backlash from their preferred vendors policies ie... MF, Zounds, Sam Ash. Maybe the was a revolt that spoke. Mom & pop want an affordable product to be able to compete. Lawsuits perhaps??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
