By ridiculing the description you are very much undermining the seller's position. Sure we can all agree or disagree with his opinion and description but this thread should be for genuine enquiries from genuinely interested buyers not for digs at the OP. 

I merely said that something was a bold claim. That's not a dig, nor is it ridiculing the description.

I'd say Rule 1 applies.

Having seen the Goldtop in person, I would say that it is absolutely stunning and, unless you know your onions and have handled more than a few 50's Gibson Les Paul then it is utterly convincing.

Sorry, but that's just ridiculous. I own a Historic Makeover Les Paul and the work they do is very fine indeed, but it would never fool an 'expert' as an original guitar.

I would say that covers ridicule? I appreciate that's not against the OP but it is the OP description that is being discussed/debated

As you say, it wasn't directed at the OP's description, which was the accusation you levelled at me.

You're probably right, and I apologise to the OP. A little hyperbole in a FS listing never did anyone any harm.

I feel like kicking the shit out of my gold top for not looking like this one, doubt that will achieve the desired result either

Pretty sure if Ernie could play guitar, it would be a Goldtop.......

Just a Gold top with a splash of cream type bump.

I mean income-wise not the guitar year !.....but I do think this is spectacular and such good value compared to the LP top end options

Cheers Dominic, I thought it wasn’t a bad price considering all the HM stuff on Reverb are upwards of £7k 

rainer2859

Bump!
