Thanks Jason, i found the gold (actually natural now) es-295 a while ago and then i came upon the sunburst just a couple months ago. I don’t think to many sunburst exist as far as i can find out anyway. The gold top sounds better to me though. It may be something to do with the sunburst bridge and tailpiece having been switched sometime during it’s long life.It is a 1953 and the goldtop is a 55.Now if i can find some original cases to put them in !
Regards,David
