Yes you should, cause it's a goddamn Goldtop LP and they're awesome!! Sorry, were you looking for someone to talk you out of it?

Especially just before Xmas. It's the responsible thing to do. 

In fact, buy two

damn right, if in doubt spend more!  its the sensible way to conduct yourself in a modern western society, anything short of that is lunacy

Save up and buy an R7!

Ha ha I noticed the wonky Grover too! Was thinking should I wait for an R7 but I think this might go reasonable.

I think the wonky tuner could just be camera trickery but, I’d always go for an R7. Biggest CS bargain

£3400 new though R7. Lot of money ha. Was thinking 2000ish second-hand but can' really justify it. Just an amature player in a hobby band. Proper lusting after a Gold Top to go with my 2003 plus top. Love 'pairs'.

beauiful but looking for humbuckers. Got a few p90 loaded guitars. awesome pickups!

If the question is “should I buy a Goldtop” then the answer is ALWAYS “it depends on whether you want to look cooler, sound better and be more attractive to the sex of your choice or not”.

And for the record... P90s. EVERY time. 

(Imho, YMMV, always read the label, wash coloured items separately, boil in the bag, batteries not included,etc)
