DetroitBlues Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 As much as I wish it was true, I photoshopped the fretboard from the blue 150 on the GT 140. What a difference a bound fretboard with traps makes... So for the wishful thinkers like me... 140 GoldTop with Traps. I sure wish I could of converted it. Might have been worth it from a resale perspective... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schundog Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I'm going to start calling you Goldilocks (or Goldy-tops...anyway...) "This one's too Hot, This one's too Cold, but THIS ONE..... Well, you'll find it one day, haha. Yeah, traps and bound fretboard are nice, but if the rest of the guitar speaks to me, it's not a deal-breaker if they don't have 'em. Obviously, I'm such a whore, a LOT of them tend to speak to me, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I GET it; But a "Dot" with Blocks or ornate inlays like on a 555 won't get kicked out of bed for eating crackers, either, even though the originals were, well, Dots. Having said that, I have never been able to get used to the fancy abalone inlays on my Fender American Deluxe Tele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuz Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 This will never leave my possession and it only has lonely dots!!! Dots are understated and classy. The most sought after vintage 355s are dot necks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 That is nice Kuz. Looks like a cross between a LP and a Tele.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
