buliwyf Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I just noticed in an old Polaroid picture that the 73 deluxe goldtop Gibson LP i had had all factory gold hardware all except the pu covers is that unusual.i havent owned the guitar in some like 17 years but i took pictures of just about all my guitars with a Polaroid that was before we all had digital cameras and cell phones with cameras.I took a picture of a picture with my phone and I have another Polaroid and you can see the tuners were even gold.That seems pretty strange.i just plaid them back then now i check serial numbers and know a bunch more,thanks to the forums.Here's one bad pic of a pic what you think.BTW it's not a lefty like the 2nd picture looks like another bad backwards pic with other guitars i took years ago but you can see the gold tuners.

buliwyf Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 I'm amazed how much that def leopard ibanez destroyer 3 pu guitar is going for now.i sold it for $600.00 to a music store a few years ago. Seems like some demand for the 3 pu version,I'm supprised Ibanez dosent make a retro one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stein Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Interesting indeed. Do you know how it came to be like that? A few years ago (like 6?), I was looking at mini-hums in gold, but they were VERY hard to find. I'm not sure if the Gibson made ones ever were made in gold. I can't recall ever seeing a guitar with them, save for the Epiphones before Gibson bought them. Or a Gold=top, or a Deluxe with gold for that matter.

And I think they are made in China now, but don't quote me on that. Besides, good luck finding one with a Kaylor Trem. Did I spell that right?

buliwyf Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 I dont think Ibanez made another 3 pu destroyer after the origional,there's plenty of destroyers with 2 pickups but a 3 pu I havent seen since I owned mine. I also never realized my 73 LP Deluxe had gold hardware until I started going through some old polaroids.I think that is strange and never would have thought they had gold hardware in a 73.Now that i know it i'm not happy i traded it for a 24ft pool.Is it worth any extra money because of the gold hrdware and is it very unusual especially on a deluxe.
