FemmeParallell Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I've been thinking about getting a 2018 tribute in gold top, i havent seen them in person, is the gold finish someone satin finish? or is it glossy? its my impression from different pictures i've seen that its somewhat satin,right? what pick ups did it came with? i cant find the info now that Gibson took down the previous models information :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not the gold paint that's the same as they use on all GTs, its the nitro on top.. One of the reasons they are cheaper is because they have a very thin nitro finish.. It takes any more layers and man hours to get them shiny. HOWEVER, I have seen people polish those finishes up and you can get them quite nice.

I understand. I had the choice of either and went with the gold top. $800 is not a bad price, but there will be gold ones out there. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been using another Meguiar's product with great results. This compound and polish, plus a lot of elbow grease will do amazing things. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
