You have to keep Victim's time table in mind. Inflation and cost of living have gone up dramatically since he actually worked on this thing.

What dark part are you are referring to? I think black is worse than gold, like the black eyes of a shark, lifeless.

Not exactly like a dolls eyes but from the picture I see a blemish. Specifically.

Gibson and ALL other guitar manufacturers and makers use cosmetically inferior timber on solid colour guitars. You'd be very fortunate to find a nice looking piece under a solid colour finish.

Right and I was fortunate.

In most cases those resin pockets would have that piece of wood relegated to the lower grade pile. Gibson would be unlikely to let a piece with that many go out of the gates if they were visible. I have seen some but you have to look pretty close.

Well since you asked. I think we can see now why Gibson culled that particular guitar to be a gold top. That big dark part of the wood grain looks like the eye of Jupiter. Personally, I’d paint it black.

Not to mention the grey iron stains and the fact that it aint bookmatched. All Gibson no no's and what will ultimately give this away as refinish and drop the value to a fraction of what it was.

So now we are creating a signature series gibson look-a-like. Which is it VP? Which famous signature player had a 12 string Goltop stripped and refinished and then Gibson made a replica..?

You are truly truly clueless.

Nice try at trying to turn this into a failure, it has been nothing but a success. Sorry to burst your bubble again.

If you mean take a perfectly good guitar and cut the value in half, yeh it's been a total triumph.

Now all you need to do is find a Victory Pete fan to buy his famous refinished Goldtop 12 string that has gone down in rock n roll history. I can see them climbing the walls to get at that one...:laughings:

You are in no position to try to determine the value of this guitar. The value will be determined by my potential buyer and myself.
