I bought one of the Hollywood ones for $3500. very awesome with the baseball bat neck. I thought I was going to just keep it but it is just too cool. I did take the pick guard off because it being made of metal it gets this weird vibration that makes sound through the guitar. I’m also thinking of having Gibson put a Black headstock veneer on and keep the gold truss cover…

I bought one! I got it as it was my 50th. Any way I was going to put it away as an investment until I played the thing. It is a great guitar and is now going out to work five nights a week. I put 12s on it and play primarily jazz on it. I have spent the last 35 years playing sunburst and natural guitars so to hell with it. Seriously, it is a truely fantastic instrument built to be played.

This guitar plays like a dream,its the first guitar I could take the strings down as far as i wanted to without buzz,$7500 is alot of money but im sure this guitar is on its way to becoming a classic,they always say you get what you pay for an in this guitar you do.

Much nicer than the domestic disturbance Goldtop written up at IG Blog today. Still not a Strat though…

I saw a couple of these at Guitar Center. Looks more like a award statue than a guitar!…..and the Les Paul for best rock performance goes to….

I once painted a Tokai Love Rock all-gold. Kept the headstock black, appointed it with standard chrome/cream bits and bobs, amber knobs etc. It looked great. Better than this garish monstrosity, anyway.
