The shop talked with Bob from Tokai UK and they agreed to swap for a Goldtop (LS-75 I assume). I had told Bob that if they could not find a Custom, a Goldtop would be OK as a last resort. It is cheaper than a Custom so I asked the shop for a set of strings, strap and speedknobs to even it......but like I told Bob, I prefer a Custom though, that was my initial goal.
Hi supreme,
I wish you good luck with the swap with the gold top, I hope you will like it! I however think that you do not need to accept a swap of the LC70-80 to a gold top if you don?t want a gold top. If there is no similar instrument to replace the LC I think you have all the rights in the world for a refund including getting back your former Epi guitar. Personally, I would prefer a gold top above a LC70-80 (Gold top has visible wooden mahogany neck and back, less posh bindings etc.), but that is all a matter of personal taste. I also think a gold top currently is even more expensive compared to a LC.
Anyway, I wish you good luck and hope the new guitar you?ll receive puts you over this bad experience.
Regards, Kappie
PS: Even Snowy White plays a gold top (true, but just kidding)
