Lovely, but not something I would ever consider at that price (or even 1/1oth of the price). Of course, this is more a collector's thing than an instrument.
 
Well I like gold tops just fine. Wouldn't be my first choice as a finish but I don't mind.
Not a big fan of tension bar poop knives, but since that one is factory I'll give it a pass.

Other than for the insane price, I'd rock it all day every day.
 
That would be perfect in our storage unit! :grin:

I love it of course, because I’m no monster. Even with the Bigsby. But no guitar with a six-figure price tag will ever find its way into my hands.

I for one am fine with not seeing the worst of the worst, every day.


I do NEED a LP in the quiver, so I would gladly accept this fine example if donated to me. Sorry, can't quite come up with that much cash.
 
I'd love it, but $125,000 actually seems high for a Goldtop. Is that what they are going for now?
