Gold Tops - Why No Gold Hardware???

I'd have to get the black plastic pick guard, myself. I'd be so afraid of scratching that gold guard.

Or maybe I'd get the all-gold model, and replace the guard with a black one, and store the original.

Yep! Even got gold plated screws and a gold plated aluminum tailpiece. All my guitars get an aluminum tailpiece.

Well, they say it's in the eye of the beholder. To my tastes, the gold/gold combo lacks contrast and depth, much like Joe Bonamassa.

I see your point on both issues....

I think when I look at it, I see the gold script on the headstock and the silver just clashes with my eye for some reason....????
 
The 50th Anniversary Customs were an explosion of gold:

I don't personally like zebras too much...but I love gold hardware and actually think it would look pretty bitchin' on that guitar. Double creams would be bada$$ as hell too.

I have most of the gold hardware already in stock...gold plated aluminum tailpiece, gold plated screws, gold plated brass jackplate, gold Grover keystones...I would need a Quick Connect Gibson Switch in Gold....as I plan to keep the PCB....
