HOW TO RELIEVE GAS?

[RFR]

Anybody know why "Gold Tops" are gold?

Donald Trump designed it. He likes gold


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.

Someone earlier said "You need a Gold Top". Don't remember who.

Do yourself a favor, and get a good USA Tele. You will not be disappointed.

It was me You need several good Tele's. Trust me
