mbberry Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 hello all. i recently finished making my goldtop a little more period correct and thought i would share. new tuners, knobs, truss cover, and switch tip. i didnt touch the guts because i dont have the knowhow or the dough, and i really like the way this thing sounds. before: after: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Nice Goldtop there. The P90s that came on it are fine pickups and don't require a swap in most of our opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwillow777 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Nice looking GT. I put some Grover Vintage Green Keystones on mine too. I really like the looks of them over the kidney shaped buttons on the stock Groves. And like they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonesomeagle1 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Nice job . Were the tulips a straight swap, no drilling needed? Thinking about doing this with my GT Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dearlpitts Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 oh no now I'm thinking I might want to do that to mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwillow777 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I needed to drill 12 new holes in the back on the headstock for my Grover Vintage Green Keystones. The bottom hole was not quite covered up, but close enough for me. Maybe 10% shows, but you have to be really close to see it, and who stands behind you when you play?

Rewddawg1 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Niiiice!!!!!. I have always thought the gold tops were great looking guitars. I have never used P-90 pups so I can't comment, looks fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungrycat Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Oooooh!! I LIKE the 2 screw truss rod cover! Could you post a close up picture of that? I wanna see how you mounted that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbberry Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 Nice job . Were the tulips a straight swap' date=' no drilling needed? Thinking about doing this with my GTPete [/quote'] they are actually klusons and i did have to make new holes but like was said who looks at the back of the guitar. i did have to use some cork because i didnt get the correct bushings. i was going to but its stable. so i figured it looked better anyway.
