Almost there!
I have most of the gold hardware on my 1990 Classic Gold Top.
Some of you may remember way back a few months ago when I posted that I was going to do this project.
Several here expressed their disapproval. But having done one before, I knew it would be a beauty. And it is IMHO.
Of course, my opinion is the only one that really counts.
:wow
Anyway, here is a photo of the nearly done project. I simply replaced all the hardware with the exact same Gibson parts, only in gold. I still have a couple screws to replace, and the tuner bushings also need to be swapped. I'm also going to gold-plate a set of knob-pointers and add them later.
Oddly, the bridge pickup cover hole spacing does not match up perfectly...? Yes, I used the Gibson neck and bridge pickup covers respectively....
Anyone know why the bridge pickup cover would not fit the pickup in my 1990 Classic? The front cover fits perfectly. The pickups are the stock from the factory. And I saw the labels on the pickup covers new in package clearly stating which pickup they fit.......?
Here is the beauty!!!
I'll get a better photo when I can...
Whataya think?
