I would call it 'average' weight. It's not a feather, but it's not a boat anchor either. When i picked it up for the first time, it didn't hit me over the head and say, 'heavy'; I didn't even notice anything weight-wise until a friend of mine asked me about it. Then i was like, 'yea i guess it's not a feather, but it's not heavy either'. For some reason i find 1957/1958 goldtops to be typical of this weight. I've never handled a featherweight gold top from those 2 years.
Beautyful guitar. More often i see goldtops, more i like them.
Offtopic question:
For what reason hiding some digits of the sn?
Agree, definitely that is not Jim's old GT.Its not 8 2795. It must be from the same batch though. Nice example Clay.:salude
Great! That would be one of the three registered 8 2xxx, all of them Goldtops. Clay, may I use your pics at burstserial.com ?damn it's TWO serial numbers away!
