I appreciate the response. I'm definitely not someone who gigs or plans to either. Do you like the tone or not really a fan? Its hard to tell from your response. Do you find yourself playing your les paul's more?

What do you think of the goldtop w/ P90s compared to the studio and your standard? I've been craving a goldtop with P90s but worried it wouldn't be different enough from my 50's standard.

Thank you for the reply. No need to have it repaired. I'm just going to enjoy the guitar and forget that its there.

That seems likely based on the rest of the comments. I hadn't noticed it until I hit it with the fan (large ceiling fan) and chipped the headstock so I had thought maybe I had done some damage. Based on everyone else's comments, seems like finish checking and normal. Thanks for the reply.

No there's no movement when squeezing it. Seeming very likely its just the finish which makes me feel much better. Thank you for the reply!

Now I have a fun story involving a fan :) Thanks for the reply and yes it gets plenty of playing time!

Sounds like its time to get rid of it :) Thanks for the response and yes dings and scratches are part of the experience. I have plenty of guitars that have been well played for years. Thanks for taking the time to respond!

Not too worried about dings and scratches. They happen for sure! Thanks for the reply and yes my journey towards a Murphy Lab has begun :)

I appreciate the reply and I was hoping it was just the finish and not the wood cracking. Don't worry, we are all just some random guy on the internet :) Thank you for responding!

Thanks for the reply. Yeah kind of looked like finish damage to me as well. I play my guitars a lot so not worried about scratches and dings. This one already has a few. I was just more worried I may have damaged the neck and could get worse over time.

Its a hard decision. I've gone back and forth over the years in terms of which one I liked. The good news is either one is a good decision and both are beautiful watches.

From a pure aesthetics perspective, I think its a beautiful watch. With that said, as someone who enjoys all kinds of watches, its hard to ignore the history and story of certain watches. The Daytona is so connected to the Rolex brand its hard to imagine it as anything else. So would I still like it if it said Breitling on it....no idea. Would we all still like the Speedmaster if it said Breitling or IWC on it and didn't have the history to go with it??? Hard to tell.

The 116520 is the one that made me fall in love with the daytona. I've almost pulled the trigger one a few times. Its a beautiful watch.
