Which do you prefer ?

i prefer the lightbacks but both are nice

I like the ones like mine, that have that medium dark honey color....kind of in between the lightest and darkest ones. I'd choose a lightback over the dark, though.

I've noticed that some goldtops are more sandy colored, and some are a more yellow bullion gold shade.

I like a darkback.....makes the gold top really stand out.

1 Puckboy. The gold top just pops with the dark back.

Lightback....all of the recent darkbacks I've seen are so dark you can't see the grain of the mahogany.

You can on mine......and it's a Dillion !!!!

Although the pic doesn't really show it, the back has a nice grain amp; so does the neck. Almost a transparent stain to it.

It's a good one!!! Thanks Wattage amp; Butnut.

hmmm i think i like light backs better. but my plan is one of two things for when i get a gold top...get a light back and add a black stinger to the back of the headstock....or....have the entire back refinished in black! i always thought a black back would look sweet with the gold top!

I love the light backs on those guitars!

I prefer the lightback. It compliments the colour better IMO.

I came in here planning to say the same thing. A black back would just look too cool with a goldtop IMO. Out of the two choices provided here, I think I like the dark back better.

darkback. and i prefer darker darkbacks but not completely dark with a little bit of grains showing. the goldtop contrasts nicely with the darkback. lightbacks are good too. as long as its not all gold its ok with me.

i like gold tops with a gold back and white binding

Dark, I like the contrast
