This is a prs goldtop? Or chinese copy?

[Vitorr]

Hi.
Can you help me?

I'd like to know if this guitar is a prs goldtop. They told me that it is a 2003 model but I'm not sure.

If that's a copy, it's a very good one. Looks real to me.

 

[JMintzer]

Looks good. I've seen the solid gold McCartys before...

 

[jetydosa]

Looks legit to me.

 

[justmund]

Haven't seen one with a gold back before?

 

[sergiodeblanc]

Looks right to me too.

Haven't seen one with a gold back before?

not sure if calling it goldtop sounds right :laugh: pretty cool guitar, i'd say it's legit because it looks right to me.

 

[justmund]

Oh yeah, it's totally a legit PRS, I'm just wondering if this is a standard colour or not?

 

[Vitorr]

Thanks for the replies.
Actually, my question is in color, since all that MacCarty I have seen got the arm and back in wood. And also headstock is always in another color.
They assured me it is original but... I still have some doubts

Once again thanks for the replies.

It's not a "Gold Top", but it does look like a legit McCarty Standard (solid mahogany, no maple top) finished in gold.

I seem to recall seeing an all-gold McCarty elsewhere before.

 

[Brad737]

That's an all-gold McCarty Standard. I had one with P-90s. There aren't many of them, but they're out there. As a matter of fact, one of these was in the PRS deck of playing cards...9 of Clubs, to be exact.

If unsure. Try to get complete serialnumber and Contact PRS support for verification. Matt over there helped me when i was unsure of my guitar. Told me specs of production-year, shipping-year, model, P-U configuration. So now I can sleep again

 

[jetydosa]

If Im not mistaken they made a few of these for 20th Anniv. Ive seen a few other McCartys and McSoapies in the same , all gold.

It looks original. In addition to Goldtops, PRS offered an all-gold finish that I believe they called "Old Gold."

There's nothing weird about the guitar that I can see, and it even has the original PRS case.

 

[Goldtop]

For whatever my opinion may be worth, it looks like a real McCarty to me. Fairly rare in all gold, and very cool even with the ding on the neck. (Several years ago there was a short-lived shop here in Amarillo that had one for sale, but they wanted waaaay too much for it.)

Just the idea that somebody might make a fake PRS - or any other brand - in GOLD?!? Is nothing sacred?!?

Goldtop, who sometimes weeps for mankind...

I've seen this paint scheme before. I do prefer the natural back and neck on goldtops, but this one was made for a while and there are a number of them out there like this. Without examining it in person, there is no way to absolutely guarantee that it is not a copy, but based on the photos, you should be fairly confident that it is legit. I've never seen a copy that was anywhere near this good if it's fake.

That says nothing about the legitimacy of the seller, however! ;D
