Just got back from my local LP dealer. When I was there I noticed a Gold Top hanging there and when I checked the price I was shocked at how cheap it was. It looked like a GT light back but was in fact a USA LP Standard. I didn't know Gibson USA was making a Gold Top Standard. Anyone else seen one of these??

Here's one. Right out of Gib's Standards page.

I"ve seen the solid color LPS's for as low as $1645 in the MidWest. In fact, the same dealer was letting some flame tops go for that, too.

They started making them toward the end of last year for the 03 model year.
I think the serial numbers might still have 03 dates. As the day the neck is joined to the body is when the date stamp is put on.

I'm really glad to see the return of the Goldtop to the Standard lineup, my only question is why it took so long.

The last goldtop standards were made up until 2001. Infact they were called bullion gold.

This is what Gibson told me..
