I still think somedays I want a nice GT...a 57 Style with open coil Zebras is sexy and a 54 style with P-90's and a stud bridge smokes too!

What would the Reverend Willy G use? :scratchch
I have just bought a 2006 Standard P90 limited edition Goldtop. Strangely, the neck PU, with the tone rolled right off, through fairly high gain does a pretty good Billy Gibbons tone. Stranger still, it does a pretty convincing Robert Fripp tone. He uses an all-mahogany Custom with humbuckers through a Big Muff pedal.
Roll the tone pot right up again and, through the same amount of valve overdrive, my Goldtop is right into Neil Young "Whizzer" filth territory. Perfect.

However his most recent Gold Tops are one of these:

Me and you both sir!
Gibsn just recently did another one...a LP Custom with a single bridge bucker...
Nice but I still like the GT better!

+1. Gold tops really should have a pair of soap bars, and a trapeze tailpiece, '52 style. That's a gold top.

Not as awesome as the perfect burst on a nice subtle maple top, but still very nice.
I can't say that I don't enjoy a good goldtop. I actually almost bought one when i was getting my trad. The burst just sounded better, but man, that gold top looked really good.
I'm actually a fan of GTs when they have the humbuckers on there. It just looks so 70s hard rock.

I'd take a Goldtop over any of the bursts any day. Plus, on the cheaper end of the LP scale, a GT gives you some visual separation of the top from the back on models that don't have binding.
