Goldtops, well, just because...

2006 R6 When I'm in a P-90 mood.

I am always in a P-90 mood. But some of the guitars I love have humbuckers. So I try to get by.

1982 30th Anniversary Goldtop and 2009 R7

Never a fan of Goldtops as a youngster, bought a 2022 ‘54 GT RI last month for 72 birthday. Truly a slow learner. First guitar i touch in the morning.

Ok, not an Historic, but how about a near-mint original lefty from 1957?

Wow! Lefties rule…

Ok, here's my lefty goldtop...highly modded , she started out as a 2007 R6 that I sent to Gord Miller in Canada for a refin, and relic.. Eventually the P-90 hum got to me and she got routed. Great guitar!

If you look at the bottom edge of the body, it would seem that a previous owner rested his right arm there when he wasn’t playing.

Now we’re talkin, very nice! Kind of a JB thing happenin. Lefties Rule!

Could not find this guitar when I took the pic in comment #26. Got it just awhile back and kinda misplaced it. “57” Gold Top Reissue, love it!

Thanks. Back in 1992 this original 1957 lefty, dark back with black plastic came up for sale. Way out of my league price-wise. no idea what has become of her, but always loved the look.

BTW, if you like goldtops, pick up Vic DaPra's book "Goldtop Believers". Not only is the book a must-have for goldtop fans, I have several pics from my "Lefty Archive" series included inside.

My '96 R6, has a chunky but comfortable neck.
