out of interest, what exactly does "double gold" mean on these?
I think that the back is gold?

Double gold is the particular shade of gold used on some guitars. It’s a slightly darker shade. Very confusing. Nice R7 this!

Hello,
@mankytom is correct. It refers to the shade of Gold paint. It has an ever-so slightly green tint to it.

trades?
I would consider the Fender or Gibson Custom Shops. Especially Clapton Strat. Or a fancy Martin Acoustic. Can put money into guitar deal if required.

I would like £2k back from any amp trades.

Travelling down M1 / A1 - Kings Lynn this weekend (19/20 Oct) if anyone interested in this. Also interested in part-ex trade for 'cheaper' LP. Got too much money tied up in this one...

No amp trades now as I've picked up what I needed. Considering lower value Gibson, PRS, Knaggs etc as part ex.

What neck profile does this have?
Is it mega chunky?

Its not a mega chunky one. I’d say its got more beef than a ‘59 but its not ‘58 fat. I normally play a strat with a medium C profile and it takes no time at all to adapt to the gold top. The thing that struck me the most about it is how loud it is. Its acoustically loud AF. 
Thanks.
Matt.

Ah, I was hoping it would be more like a '59 neck.
Cheers.
