Best LP Color

[marauder]

Mine.  But I don't think a black custom can really be bettered.

[Sifu Ben]

I thought you only had $400?

[Attica!]

How about Tiger's Eye ot Tiger's Eye Burst?

I love my Tea burst Tokai but I've got to say I don't think any 1 colour is better than any others. I have a Black custom Epi which is lovely, a cherry burst & the tea burst. All are good, but some days I love the Desertburst


others days the RR style white does it for me:



In other words...get them all!

[Ratrod]

period.

I've been trying to remember the name of this colour since yesterday - Bourbon Burst.

I like the way it goes into that really deep shade at the edges - there's almost a hint of purple, in the right light.

[Ian Price]

Honey burst all the way for me.

I'll never get a LP though.

[Philly Q]

Just to echo Ratrod's comment, I love that look too.  But the '54 version with a wraparound bridge is even better.

And it is, if possible, even nicer again in black (couldn't find a good pic of a P-90 version)

black lp's need to be blacktops only - natural sides please

[Twinfan]

Yep - Blacktops are awesome!

[nfe]

Depends on what type of LP. Assuming just Gibson shapes (because I always think everything else looks rubbish - too pretty or too pointy or whatever.

No Bursts. Ever!

Juniors - TV yellow.
Standards - Goldtops
Customs - Black.

You're right, that's probably the winner.  :D

That middle one with P-90s!  :o  I would kill (.....or at least mildly maim....) for that guitar!

But blacktops are pretty hard to come by (vintage or modern), all-black is much more common, sadly.

My big bugbear with Gibson has been that if you don't want vintage sunbursts or black/white/gold, then you're largely out of luck. Quite like the Manhattan Midnight finish on the new Classics, and I liked the Brimstone finish they did a couple of years ago, but the burst finishes that PRS have been doing in the last couple of years absolutely leave them for dead.
One of these days I'm going to succumb to a moment of weakness and buy that used purple Lion Custom off Johnathan.

The black top/ natural back LP's look so much better IMO, never seen one of those before? And this one is a great colour!
