To my knowledge it was a cream colour I never seen it before the refinish. Did the gold tops have a flat body as the ones ive seen are shaped a bit
Photos of the guitar from multiple angles including close-up shots could help us determine what it is.

59 tribute pickups are actually not even related to the 57 Classics. The 59's are a member of the Burstbucker family. While the 57 Classics are balanced coils, the Burstbuckers are unbalanced, with the slug coil being hotter than the screw coil. On the 59's, they made the Screw coil hotter than the slug coil, which gives it a more "single coil" high end character.

The headstock shape looks wrong, the split diamond inlay on the headstock looks cheap, as do the tuners, and even the bridge looks off. I'd say knockoff, of some sort. Could still be a great guitar though.

Yes, at least 90% are idiots. How does it feel to be in the majority? You'll grow up some day.....probably not.
You're obviously in the 10% who are completely braindead. Have your opinion, but don't force it on others. Wood vibrates. Pickups are affected by vibrations. Thicker poly finishes hinder vibrations, while thinner nitro finishes hinder them less so. Remember, it's those "idiots" who Built the guitars you don't deserve to play. Maybe You'll finally grow up some day...bitter old man.

Heres mine, I really like it an aweful lot.
God I hate ignorant people like you... "a concrete block sounds just like a $5000 Martin", "there's no difference between poly and nitro", "the type of wood doesn't make a difference once it's plugged in".
Yeah, I guess 90% of guitarists are idiots, huh?

I used to work at L.A. Music in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, and one day I was in the basement throwing out old boxes...I found 8 boxes in the back that somebody wrote "Epi Extras" on. 1 box (about 4 feet high by 1-1/2 feet wide) was Full to the Top with Epi stickers. Another was full of posters, another econ cables, there was even a box with a couple dozen gig bags that were meant for guitars...
Yeah, never bought another guitar there again. Quit later and moved to a more reputable guitar store.

MAPLE NECK VS MAHOGANY NECK
in Gibson USA
Posted
Lots of people say that maple is a "bright" wood. When comparing two types of wood, the term "bright" generally means "more treble/upper-mids".
The illusion of maple's "brightness" comes from it's lack of bass response, which emphasizes the upper-mids and treble frequences.
Rosewood (generally) has more treble response and is a little scooped in the upper-mids, but also has an extended bass response and more lower-mids which gives it the "warmth" we often associate with it.
Mahogany is fairly even but with rolled off treble and bass response, which gives it that low-mid "growl", that mid "honk" and that cutting upper-midrange that doesn't take your head off.
At least that's how I hear it. As always, tone is subjective.
