Members NeilPeartjr Posted January 10, 2011 Members Share Posted January 10, 2011 I recently aquired a Epiphone les Paul Standered and when i asked what color it was my buddy said "Iced Tea Burst". When i looked the guitar up on all the major websites it does not come in Iced Tea it comes in Honey Burst. Did Epiphone Ever make a Les Paul Standered in an Iced Tea Burst? if u need me to post a pic i will gladly do so if it would make life easyer just Request one and i will be happey to do so.

Members cratz2 Posted January 10, 2011 Members Share Posted January 10, 2011 Those faded/muted bursts are very often mistaken for each other. I've seen a few faded bursts on Epis, but yeah... we'd probably need to see a pic. Might be best to take it out doors and might sound weird, but if you could put a piece of white paper next to the guitar, it might help with making sure we actually can see what we are seeing.\n Feel free to email me a pic and I can try to work it in Photoshop. Again, a piece of white paper helps and DEFINITELY taking the pic outdoors will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fireproof777 Posted January 10, 2011 Members Share Posted January 10, 2011 Gibson has done Iced Tea, Sunset, Desert, blah blah blah....... so...yeah, post a pic and that will help. Chances are good someone here has the same guitar and can tell you exactly what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cratz2 Posted January 11, 2011 Members Share Posted January 11, 2011 Here's a bump with the pics that Matt sent me. This is the pic he sent me: And I corrected this one for a little better white balance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cratz2 Posted January 11, 2011 Members Share Posted January 11, 2011 I would call that Honey Burst, but the center isn't quite as muted as I usually think of Honey Burst as being. I am the first to admit that I am far from an expert in burstiology. I tend to not like anything more complicated than Wine Red, Amber or Butterscotch.

Members soundcreation Posted January 11, 2011 Members Share Posted January 11, 2011 It's like the different categories of metal. They are pretty much all meaningless. And they all represent more or less what has been traditionally known as tobacco burst. Which in turn probably all came from the original faded 50's clown bursts. The lighter versions get called "honey" or other such marketing terms to get people to feel like they have drastically different options and to make them feel special.

Members StratMonster Posted January 11, 2011 Members Share Posted January 11, 2011 could it be Tobacco burst? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cratz2 Posted January 11, 2011 Members Share Posted January 11, 2011 could it be Tobacco burst? Probably not. Some of the 'Faded' series Gibsons weren't terribly dark around the edges, but they were specifically painted to make it look like the edge had faded. New/current production Tobacco Burst has very dark edges, like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
