Members thehikingdude Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 About 2 hours ago I opened a box to find this inside. It's a 2008 R0 that is all stock to the best of my knowledge. I won't bore you with the specs. If you are here you likely know them a lot better than I do. The last time I owned a LP was in 1981, that was a LP Custom Blackie. Hope to find some pics of it sometime. Now for the R0. The finish is interesting on this one. Both the color and the flames change dramatically depending on the light and the angle.

Members thehikingdude Posted March 24, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 Is that a lemon? honey? Either way I like the finish and color. 4 paws up from Lamb Chop my white german shepard. - w Thanks everybody! I wish I knew what the finish was. Some have guessed Iced Tea, others Sunrise Teaburst. I've emailed Gibson in hopes that they can look up the serial number and let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members roygbiv Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 i was gonna guess iced tea when i first saw it, but at a second glance, not so sure. either way, it's pretty swell. congrats and enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members _pete_ Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 My LP is Iced Tea and it's close to that but darker I think.I'm guessing that's Honey Burst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tiltsta Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 Wowza, that is HOT. Congrats on getting a hell of a fine looking LP. My honey burst is more tan/brown on the edges and a little more yellow than that. Maybe washed cherry or one of the 50 other bursts they have these days. Kind of looks like that brockburst color I lusted over for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tele0507 Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 IT, I bought one 4 months ago, had to return it due to imperfections. Mine was a plain top but it was nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MONGOOZ Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 that IS very fine.....and btw.....pretty much ALL the flamed Les Paul tops change in different light.....it's one of the elements that makes them SOOOOOOO desirable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thehikingdude Posted March 24, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 From Gibson via email: "This appears consistent with a 2008 R0 in Iced Tea Burst finish." Seems a bit vague, but I will go with it. Jammed with it tonight for about 3 hours. It's a lovefest! Thanks everybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lp_junkie Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 Sweet guitar, an R0 is high on my list of things I want to buy soon. I think you'll get spoiled and never like anything but Custom Shop guitars from Gibson after this, there is such a huge difference in them and the regular USA production line.
