Guitar- Swap. Would you?

[-analog-]

Confused on what to do

I have a chance to pickup a 1989 Gibson Goldtop, Dual P-100's, super clean, case..

would be swapping it for a 61' SG Reissue in Black, one of the guitar of the weeks...

Yay / nay?

 

[jazzandmetal?]

Goldtop.

 

[drbob1]

SG Reissue for me. Not feeling the love for the P100s.

 

[blastastick]

Hate the P100's. Keep the SG.

 

[bilbal]

Yeah, the P100s are the deal breaker for me as well. The Sg would be my choice.

Pickups can be swapped. Then again, I'm not big on SGs so I've got bias there. I voted Les Paul.

 

[DGDGBD]

goldtop and pickup swap would be my choice

 

[DrBob]

SG Reissue for me. Not feeling the love for the P100s.

Quoting my namesake here, but I'm with him, SG all the way

 

[Dannc6]

avoid p100's at all costs.... whether that means going with the sg, or replacing the LP's

 

[Polynitro]

p90 SG

 

[highrise]

P100's aren't THAT bad. (Avoid at all costs? lol)

 

[Derwood]

Goldtop.
Let your own ears decide and swap in P90's later if you want to.

 

[frankencat]

Goldtop. I love the P100s.

 

[Bluesbuff]

Goldtop, you could always put in some Lollar P90s if the 100s don't float your boat

 

[Hackubus]

Goldtop & drop the Pee Hunerts.

 

[edwarddavis]

no brainer , take the gt , you can always swap pickups

 

[Troubleman]

Goldtop.
Yank the pee/urine-100s outta there pronto.
You'd be better off with just about anything else.
Outside of those pups, the Goldtop Lester is a killer instrument.

Personally I don't like the P-100s, so I keep the SG. But if it were 'buckers or a P-90 Goldtop, I go with that.

 

[sqadan]

Get the Goldtop...

And get some nice Fralins to replace the P100s.

Gibson no longer makes a regular issue LP with soapbars... so I'd get it in a heartbeat.

If you miss the 61 reissue - get another one later - they are a dime a dozen.

Goldtop.. and replacing the pickups immediately..
