HOW TO RELIEVE GAS?

Anybody know why "Gold Tops" are gold?
Donald Trump designed it. He likes gold :D


Seriously, I don’t know exactly why gold was picked as a color choice. But it would show up well on black and white TV. Along the lines of Fender’s butterscotch finish on Tele’s. And later Gibson’s “TV” yellow.

But it is my understanding that paint was used to hide the maple cap from Gibson’s main competitor, Fender.
