Title: Dream Finishes.
Post by: schmendict on October 24, 2005, 01:02:36 PM

Continuing on the theme of dream gear, whats everyones favourite finish?
Mine is probably a really nice, dark brown burst colour, i just think it looks classy, nostalgic.
And you.....?

Depends on the guitar.

I like classic black on most. Cherry red for SG's, Tennessee Orange for a hollow body, transparant red over a burled/spalted maple top, black cherry on flamed maple. For Les Pauls, I really like gecko (green sunburst) at the moment.

I like anything that looks good! Heh. So I'm pretty open to most finishes. I've got a soft spot for good ol' sunburst finishes though--the black-brown-yellow one. And I love quilt maple with a trans finish of almost any colour, especially turquoise or red.

I was gonna go "nice one mate", but then I saw your signature... BLASPHEMY!

I love blue finishes, and if it's going to be on figured wood I far prefer a flame top to a quilt.

I really like the PRS blue matteo finish  :P

And the whale blue

Deeper/warmer shades of purple

My ultimate is a sonic blue Strat ( which I have) though I am also partial to Olympic white on Strats. I love that Butterscotch they do on old tele's and for Les Pauls I like Gold tops with aged cream P90's. Rics in that fireglow or whatever they call it and Casino's in the stripped down finish( like Lennon's). SG's cherry- same on 335's. I am stuck in a time warp I am afraid Gentlemen when it comes to "planks".

Now that's cooler than a lame nebula!!! Nebula's shouldn't be allowed on guitars, they look too cheesy! For the record I think this pinky orange ESP is very cool!

Nuntius' post was pretty much accurate to awesomeness!!! thats the kewlest looking ESP in the world! I'd love one in a slightly darker red, and a quilted top.

theres the nicest finish of all time - shame they had to go and spoil it with all those knobs etc.

I also like jackson's Eerie Dess Swirl

Firemist gold, and the satin orangey brown on the back and sides of my accoustic. And it's pretty similar to Western maple stain on gretsches which islike a browner earthier gretsch orange almost. 8)
