Which color looks better on a Les Paul: Cherry Sunburst or Tobacco Burst?

[James Hetfield Acne Scars]

[Crunchtime]

Clown burst will always lose this battle.

[GAS Man]

I voted Tobacco, but I do think that a "faded" cherryburst is possibly preferable to either.

 

 

 

 

 

Iced Tea sorta splits the baby

 

 

 

 

 

Last one in the door is none of the above, it's Antique Amber

 

 

 

I'm not even sure what color this one, my oldest one (an '83) even is

 

 

Thoughts?

[pak066]

iced tea is my favorite but tobacco burst wins with this one

[Jealousblues]

those are my two least favorite colors

[Jealousblues]

the first three the second guy posted were gorgeous though

[Critical Ninja]

I like Cherry Sunburst myself, but not if it looks like a Clownburst.

Tobacco burst gets my vote, but not really a fan of either, there are so many colours that look better.

Whaddaya think of this beeyatch?

 

They called it "Autumn Burst"

 

 

I put the two together in the pic cuz the Nighthawk is called a Fireburst which looks sooo close.

Silverburst ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whaddaya think, some prefer the hour glass shaped silver, others prefer the tear-drop.

 

Have to admit, I used to prefer the hour-glass but the tear drop pattern has grown on me as the more "classic" of the two.

What's this called? It's my LP Classic from 2000. I've always liked the finish.

 

[GAS Man]

^^ Honeyburst?

 

 

I've often wanted to get a Classic with the 496/500. Just seems like it would be a different pony.

 

I've had good results with those p'ups in two guitars. The other two, not so much.

[FoonkySteve]

I voted Tobacco, looks more antique-ee

 

The cherry looks great too though! It's really close!

I voted cherry. I just prefer red over baby {censored} brown. But,any poorly done burst looks like {censored} no matter what colors.

[BeanoBoy]

First photo I ever saw of Eric Clapton he was holding a cherry 'burst. Loved 'em ever since. My own form of idol worship. Tobacco 'burst is a bit dull to me personally.

[guitarman3001]

not a huge fan of either but I picked tobacco.

[mockchoi]

I have both, and I much prefer the cherry. Some of the other cherry ones that I've seen have been way too red though.

[webwarmiller]

I hate cherry burst. I couldn't fathom spending that much money for something I see as truly hideous.

[tiltsta]

Of those choices, tobacco burst, but I prefer honey burst.

[soundcreation]

tobacco...greatest guitar finish ever.

[Hozze]

 

Silverburst ? Whaddaya think, some prefer the hour glass shaped silver, others prefer the tear-drop. Have to admit, I used to prefer the hour-glass but the tear drop pattern has grown on me as the more "classic" of the two.

 

 

Tobacco>cherry.

 

Silverburst is possible the coolest finish there is, and teardrop>hourglass.

 

Customs are also just sex.

[scuzzo]

i like them both but a nice flame CBS is pretty cool looking mho,,,

 

[sk8centilli]

Heritage Cherry Sunburst for the WIN!
