I’m tempted to get a Les Paul gold top in the near future. Any thoughts about good models and years?
No particular budget but let’s say under 3k. It's to use live so conidtion isnt important if it plays right. I prefer slimmer necks but can live most gibson profiles apart from thr really fat necks.
On my list are the old late 80s/ early 90s classics so i might come across one of those going cheap and maybe an older early 70s model but that might mean upping the budget?
Aside from those 2 options how do the various Ri models conpare with just finding a standard or traditional for a good price?

What about one of the current classics with p90 pickups?
Slim taper neck should suit you.
The only changes I have made are a hotter bridge/Treble position pickup and combatting the corrosion caused by the previous owner's sweat.
Better than most historics I've played.

What are the necks like on the traditional models or does it vary by year in typical Gibson daftness.
Several pickup manufacturers offer some of their best-known regular humbuckers in P90-sized housings. In some cases, the reduced coil spacing causes a corresponding reduction in the length of string that each pickup senses. Only you can decide whether this compromise is worthwhile to avoid cutting into the top of an instrument.
I have a hunch that only a straightforward Les Paul with regular humbuckers will be acceptable.
