First of all, is there any difference? I've just noticed that some gold tops has the color "bullion gold" while someone only is described as "gold top". I've try to do some googling, but didn't manage to find any answers.

I've heard that one of them are only gold colored paint, while the other is some sort of bronze material? Is that true? If so, then it must have some effect on the sound?

Does anybody actually know the answer?

I'm asking because I got one offer on a new Deluxe Glold Top ("bullion gold")
and one Standard with p-90's and a regular gold top.
