    No, Wokka, it's actually an acrylic topcoat.

    This is looking unbelievable!! What's your plans for the headstock Gav? From what I can gather this model used a pearl inlay "Gibson" logo along with a silk screened "Les Paul Model", how you gonna replicate this?

    I want the world to know I put this together, so the headstock will have the 'G' style shape, but it will be clear that it's MY guitar and not Keith's!
    I have 'toyed' with the idea of 'GaviN' in MOP as opposed to "GibsoN'.

    Stan, it's not hard to get the GoldTop finish!
