Best LP Color

[Attica!]

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!

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.

Thats really strange that. You can see theMaple finish, but it's almost like you can see another wood texture/grain in there too. Ican seeit in both pics. Anyone else see this, or have a reasonable explanation?

Figuring in maple is (I believe) the result of how the tree has grown, it's not the grain itself. Because in the post PRS era we've become used to seeing very intense figuring you're just used to the figuring masking the grain.

[Attica!]

Ahh, I was really confused then. Thanks for clearing that up :)

[Twinfan]

Yep, it's a mixture of figuring (flames) and the grain (rings).

I have a few colours that I like.  I have bought a couple more since this shot, so I should get them all out again for pics, but it will still be at least another month until I get the builders out of here.

The goldtop with P-90's is a 54, the darkburst is a Will Scott custom make, the sunburst is a 53 conversion, the goldtop with PG-Blues is a 1986 Darkback.  I don't have the 71 55 reissue custom anymore, but do have a 71 custom with HB's.  The special is a 1960.

Yeah guys, all very very cool guitars. Anyone suporting a honeyburst or lemon burst type color?

I do, but the point is what you like. It's all about personal taste.

Yes, I posted a pic earlier in this thread.

I like the sobriety of a tobacco sunburst or a silverburst
there's also a difference between 50's bursts (very natural and gradual) and late 70's/early 80's bursts (deeper and intense)
I like both styles

my '78 Greco has a 50's style burst


and here's an '81 Gibson

I guess this could be referred to as Lemonburst?


As for my favourite LP colours I like Cherry Sunburst on a plain top (find it too much on a flametop), Tobacco Sunburst, Alpine White, Honeyburst, Iced Tea Burst, Silverburst (on some guitars) aswell as Blues and Purples but you don't see too many of those around in comparison.

Silverburst really does it for me. I'd love to get me a silverburst LP with a really nice flamed maple fretboard....
