My new 1954 Gold Top has some figure on the back. It almost matches the inside of the control cavity!

If you still have the poker chip, please let me know! LOL!

My money is on it never coming with one.
They didn't start till '54.

I prefer them without.


For the sake of everyone else, I'll host the pics.
Cause the guitar sure is pretty!

Congrats.

Not sure when they started in 1953 but wraptails 3 17xx and 3 21xx both had them, as well as many others. The were potato-chip-thin and often broke.

I prefer them without.

I prefer them with. :jim

I love it! The back has very nice grain and I do think a wrap tail with P90's and a Gold Top is a great look.
