My '04 '56 Goldtop

Ignore the girly wallpaper, i was at my mom's. lol.

Anyway, I sold my Gibson GOTW that had the cracked neck, got this beauty, a valve jr. and a case and pocketed the difference. Now I just need a vintage sunburst custom, a white custom, and my current GAS will be sedated.





^ was the night I got back from Dexter with it, had some case fuzz stuck in the tuners, lol.









I've since put the pickguard back on... the bridge pup just looked waaaay to high without it.

Re: My '04 '56 Goldtop

I can't remember the factory, i know its a MIK. I did the lookup just to see the year on it and I can't remember anything else.

Re: My '04 '56 Goldtop

It's all about preference man. I myself like my own guitar without the pickguard.

Take some pics of her with the pickguard on!

So you weren't sure about being indecisive? I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Re: My '04 '56 Goldtop

That's a beauty! GAS is never satisfied, it just backs off its intensity a little bit after getting new gear.


Oh yeah, I was thinking about being decisive today, but I've decided put it off until tomorrow after I give up procrastinating. Maybe.
