Svet Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hi JC, I think it is nice that Epipone offers a version with a dark back. Gibson has several Gold Top iterations with a dark stained back and one is even Walnut and not Mahogany! Gibby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jykiii Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I got my GT yesterday and WOW! I NEVER would of thought that it would be THAT good:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwillow777 Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 Congrats! I love mine. The neck is very comfortable for me and the action is really low. A great playing guitar. The P-90s sound great, they are a little noisey, but if you play it clean there really isn't that much noise, just when you kick on some pedals. I teach at an elementary school and I brought mine in today, I played it for every class. What a blast, I can't believe that they pay me to do this. I hope you enjoy is as much as I enjoy mine.

gibiphone Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Hey, congrats willow. Glad that you are happy with your new GT. That one is a beaut. I got a less expensive Ebony GT a couple days ago. You assessment of the P90s and the neck is spot on. Here's a pic of mine. I have installed black speed knobs and replaced the pickup covers and all other creme colored pieces with black, other than the pickguard. I'm debating Hope you enjoy yours, I will mine.

Gibiphone just north of the Mexican line Looks nice, I like the black pickup cover and black speed knobs too. I think a BWB pick guard would finish it off really nice. I changed the knobs on mine too. I put pointers on and Gold Speed knobs. I also put a set of Grover Vintage Green Keystones on and Dunlop strap locks. I may eventually put a Gotoh bridge and tailpiece on it, but I'm happy with it the way it is now. I love the stock P90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already put a TP-6 tailpiece on my Gold Top. LOVE the way those Grover Keystones look. I'll be putting those on in the near future. jykiii and Gibiphone, HNGD! Those Ebony GTs were an absolute steal at $299! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
