The Goldtop is actually an '02 Classic. Fret markers are 'aged' pearloid(mother of plastic) which gives it an older look. I don't even play Les Pauls(too heavy) but couldn't pass this up for $200.
You're in Wilmington right Red??

yup wilmington. for $200 i wouldnt be able to pass it up either! its got to be worth 5 or 6 times that! that was a steal.

 

[Wetgreenie]

Cool stuff there Root. I hope the separation anxeity wasnt too hard on you. sometimes I think of sellng most of my stuff so I can get more, More, more.......

But what I reall need is to upgrade my Bass amp....... WetGreenie needs some "HeadRoom"!!!

 

[root]

so I can get more, More, more.......<<Wetgreenie

I suffered from G.A.S. for many years Greenie. Gear Acquisition Syndrome. Those were the days when I thought that things would make me feel better. I loved things and used people. Now I love people and use things. Sorry if I'm getting too philosophical but recovery from addiction has taught me the the best things in life aren't things. Addiction stole most of those guitars and as my terminally ill wife used to say........."Ya can't play more than one guitar at a time anyways". I have little time these days to play due to being a primary caregiver for my wife,but I still pick it up a few times a week to keep my chops fresh.

"Shut up and play yer guitar".......FZ Godwilling I'm gonna catch Johnny A. this sat. nite in Philly.

HH,

Hey Wetgreenie,

I have a late 1940's L-4 Gibson Archtop. My mother gave it to my dad as a wedding gift.

 

[hollowpointred]

It's not in too bad of shape. Maybe a few scratches. My sons got it at his house. I'll ask him to take a pic and post it. As I recall it is missing the pick guard. Still have the original case too.

Too cool, I wouldn't mind any of those either.....

I've got a 63 white gibson sg special. Anyone know it's rarity? All orignal, non-tremlo,
no swapped parts. Picked it up for $400 from a lady so she could fund her son's commissary account in the big house. Someone told me that there was an article recently in vintage guitar(?) that said Tom Petty recently purchased one. I'm not a picker, but it was too cool a deal to pass up.
