pics of goldtops of course arent great to look at like check the flames out guitars. its the variety that lies within the goldtops that to me is the most interesting fact.
also thought it would curb my appetite to limit my joy.. still the pain of GAS is never cured when your a sick sick man and your R4 may never turn green like the old beaters bec of the modern finish hence now the murphy aged look is in fashion. plastic surgery for guitars and make overs to make em all haggly

More easily found, and Asian-made, but with Epiphone on the headstock, the Jack Casady bass, based on the matching Les Paul Signature bass. It's always been available in the gold top color scheme too. Unique sound, matches well with acoustic guitar too -- as you might expect.

2019 R4 2014 R7 I prefer goldtops to flametops, but I had these first My Flametop 2010 R0 Heritage 2015 H150 Heritage 2010 H150 Why have 5 Les Paul type guitars? Well they all sound different. I bought them to compare different types of pickups and hardware, and they all sounded so good I couldn't sell them. |

I've seen a couple of interesting vintage gold tops. As time went by the finish began becoming transparent and the owners began to discover lovely flamed tops peeking through underneath. Funny, huh?

the Deluxe with the crown inlay and headstock binding. A Guitar of the Week 2008, and I know guys who says they can do anything with their one guitar. Right. Didnt say they can do everything but the variety of les pauls is just about endless. I love it

I know opinions vary, everyone has them, etc., but IMO, the Les Paul Standard is just simply the most beautiful guitar ever made...fell in love with them in the early 70's, and, to me, there's nothing that compares to them.

Man, that wall of Paul’s is pretty darn impressive. I’m not even sure what to say about it as I am in all of it (or is it in lust of it)
I only have one Gibson Les Paul. A ‘96 Studio - because it was all I could afford. It surely does not look as nice as the ones hanging on that wall, but by golly it sure plays in sounds nice. I own several electric guitars, but there’s just something about the Les Paul. Last edited by 1stGuitar; 09-28-2021 at 07:35 AM. |
