gold top x-350 or X-375?

[Darryl Hattenhauer]

Has anyone ever seen or heard of an X-375 or X-350 with a gold top?

Krylon-ically speaking, I could whip one up for you in no time at all!

We've seen a few factory gold Guilds of the early '50s, but my memory is they were all-gold, rather than just the top. Don't recall seeing a 350/375, but wouldn't shock me to see one. Got a line on one?

Harry,

No runs, no drips, no errors.

Kaker,

Never even heard of one.

Northy,

Yes, and I wish they had done more of each.

I've saw that X-60 ("the golden X-150") several years ago on Craigslist with a different seller and more agreeable price.

Back then I talked to that seller about it and was told the back had been refinished (but thats not in the current description)....
....that said I still have a thing for that guitar.

Here are two threads about other goldtops (but no X-375 or X-350):
