Got a 1973 Deluxe Goldtop. I wanted something that is and looks 50 years old. Other than a couple, my guitars are all quite new and I will never live long enough to see them get aged.
Goldies seem to age really cool with finish checking, greening etc so I went on the hunt.
Found one with cracks in the finish, checking, some arm wear. Surprisingly no finish gone from the back. It isn't all original but I don't care. Pretty hefty at 9lb 9 oz. I am getting a higher output mini HB to see. I am a higher gain guy.
Cool mojo IMO.
