Members craigny Posted December 27, 2010 Members Share Posted December 27, 2010 Well I finally picked up my Les Paul today. I originally put a deposit on a Desert Burst, but i've been leaning towards the Light Burst finish more and more, one look at the Light Burst LP he had there sealed the deal, I am without words to describe how beautiful the guitar is and how well it plays and sounds! Here are a couple of pics. (the back is also so sweet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Elias Graves Posted December 27, 2010 Members Share Posted December 27, 2010 The color is called I believe. It's a beauty! EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fu2jobu Posted December 27, 2010 Members Share Posted December 27, 2010 Whatever it is i fell in love at first sight. I think that's all that matters. Even if you played in a Death Metal band and the finish was called Cute, Fuzzy Bunny Unicorn Kisses who cares? If it's the color(s) you want I think that's all that matters.

Members craigny Posted December 27, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 27, 2010 Arrgh...the reciept I have has the original Derest Burst SKU number on it from when i first made a deposit on that one.. all their guitars finishes are deciphered by the SKU, but i just swapped guitars ath the last minute right there on the spot so i diddnt get the new SKU number on my reciept, ill call them tomorrow to see if i can get to the bottom of it!!

True, but i need to know cause im an OCD maniac, now it looks like honey burst, but its Light Burst!!!! I know though that these vary from one another so one can look darker around the edges on one guitar, and lighter on another. Stay tuned!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stymye Posted December 27, 2010 Members Share Posted December 27, 2010 looks like faded cherry burst to me ,,,I don't see any brown at all ...could be the lighting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cratz2 Posted December 27, 2010 Members Share Posted December 27, 2010 Either way, I really like it as well. I really have the hots for a nice LP with some sort of non-Cherry and non-Tobacco finish. I really like the amber and butterscotch, but some of the faded bursts are super nice as well. The less dark brown and the less red and darker orange, the better. Either way, looks great! HNGD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaleH Posted December 27, 2010 Members Share Posted December 27, 2010 Wow nice, beautiful top on that. Whatever the color I think you were wise not to argue the piont and just snag it. HNGD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members niceguy Posted December 27, 2010 Members Share Posted December 27, 2010 yowza cratz, who is that chick? and about the guitar---it looks like light burst to me. but, Les Paul finishes are so reactive to photo conditions. My Vintage Sunburst looks golden when using flash or when viewed in the sun, but under low indoor light, it looks yellowish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members craigny Posted December 27, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 27, 2010 I think it is a Light burst, it looks the most like it...waiting for the store to open to check the SKU, but dosent look cherry in person, and i think the edges are too light for Iced Tea, a/b'ing my pic from the Gibson website i dunno about a million times LOL i must say that i am pretty sure the guy misspoke and i have a light burst, he brought up a case that had a tape label iced tea, but think he goofed...anyway i picked the guitar for the way it looked i wasant looking for iced tea per say, i just wanted something lighter that the desert, and this one looked/played the best, plus the back is red, does that tell y'all anything?
