Members Dr. Scottie C Posted September 24, 2013 Members Share Posted September 24, 2013 Even if you aren't a Les Paul person, let's say you won one of these in a contest and could take your pick.....which one are you grabbing?? (Yes, MSRP on these 5 range for $3,200 to $5,700.... so just base your pick on looks, as the specs on all 5 are virtually identical) Option #1 Caramel Burst Option #2 New Honeyburst Option #3 Les Paul Custom in Ebony Option #4 Heritage Cherry Sunburst Option #5, Vintage Sunburst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted September 24, 2013 Moderators Share Posted September 24, 2013 Theve all got something going on, but the Custom does it for me everytime, as does my 69RI with nickel hardware, although given enough cash I'd splash out on the new R9, but at the last minute I'd bottle out and buy a Nik Huber;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Professor Tom Posted September 24, 2013 Members Share Posted September 24, 2013 At a push I'd take option 4 as I'm not really a fan of flame, but I'd take a Gordon Smith Graduate 60 for much less money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kayd_mon Posted September 24, 2013 Members Share Posted September 24, 2013 I like them all, but I think I would take the honeyburst if I was picking my prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gardo Posted September 24, 2013 Members Share Posted September 24, 2013 Tough choice, but I'd go with the Heritage Cherry Sunburst.The Ebony is a close second.Can I have it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thewthrman Posted September 24, 2013 Members Share Posted September 24, 2013 I don't care if htey call it a clownburst or whatever. I like the heritage cherry. I want it to be the right color when it's new and then it'll fade into the other ones over the next 30 years. It's funny, though. I always wanted one of those Dean Cadillacs back in the early 80s. And i think those only look right in black. Don't dig on a black les paul too much, tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kayd_mon Posted September 24, 2013 Members Share Posted September 24, 2013 I don't think that "clownburst" works as a description, since clowns usually have white faces and red cheeks and noses. Not yellow and red. I have suggested that the term be "dragonburst" since Smaug is a red dragon with a gold-encrusted underside. Red and yellow. At least I'm pretty sure that's how he's described in the book. All the artist depictions have him that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Knutsaq Posted September 24, 2013 Members Share Posted September 24, 2013 Option 3, Ebony Custom - All day, every day. I really don't like the flamey tops at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Special J Posted September 24, 2013 Members Share Posted September 24, 2013 Another vote (WTF, who writes forum software without the ability to do a poll?) for the Custom. The New Honeyburst is pretty nice too though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted September 25, 2013 Moderators Share Posted September 25, 2013 My main gripe with LPs is the horrid so called red mahogany stain back.........NO! Mahogany is a good colour on its own which is why Gold Tops generally win as they are close to natural colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BeanoBoy Posted September 25, 2013 Members Share Posted September 25, 2013 As I already have a Heritage Cherry, I'd go for the Caramel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
