Gibson Les Paul Colours

Shanegggg

Ordering my Les Paul on sat!!

But one major problem haven't decided on the colour yet!!

Any1 know a good website that shows these?

I know the gibson site does but only 1 pic and its hard to decide from that.h

You can have any colour you want as long as it's black.

Giblet

Black looks nice with creme. All black makes it look cheap I think (eg The Gothic model studio)

Tobacco sunburst is nice aswell as the old style sunburst colours ala Jimmy Page. Goldtop's look nice but only with P90's

feylya

What sort of Les Paul is it anyway? The Thomann site shows a decent enough choice of LP Pictures.

Shanegggg

Getting a standard.

Thomson site has the same photos as the gibson.

Any other sites?

Getting it for €1805 delivered.

Personally I think a white Les Paul has a very certain kind of charm,

First person to say the Darkness gets a fork in the trachea.

A

Manic Street Preachers

I suppose that ain't so bad, so you only get a spoon in the larynx.

feylya

You're too bleeding obvious Hungus

Think i'm going for the iced tea the classic les paul look.

Well either that or Honey Burst!

Other guitarist has desert burst so i can't get that or it will just look stupid.

Quattroste

Kill the other guitarist........ then take his. That will save you money too.

I like the root beer personally:

Creamy Goodness

just to let you know,

i bought a classic about a year ago, and i picked the vintage sunburst as depicted here



this is how it really looks




it's a lot darker in the flesh as they would say

Giblet

Yeah but you don't have studio lights, and don't clean your guitar

feylya

It has to be said, after watching this thread, I'm gassing for a Les Paul. A Gibson one.

but the studio lights give an unfair reflection as to the real world finish of the guitar.

ohh and that was the camera lens, ahem.

Yeah i know. Can't wait till nxt week when i have my baby in my arms!!

I think urs looks better Cremo compared to the pic. It looks really like Slash's signature one.

feylya

There's an Agile Les Paul sitting downstairs but I just don't like it. It's not that it's badly made or anything (cos it's surprisingly well made), I just don't like the feel of it.

cantdecide

root beer is gorgeous. i nearly bought mine in that but since there is a distinct lack of scratchplates at the moment i went for black (incl. s/plate)

Shanegggg

Any1 know where to get a Gibson Les Paul Standard cheaper than €1820 delivered?

Since were on the subject of Les Pauls.

feylya

Fraid not. Where are you getting that one from?

Shanegggg

http://www.coda-music.com/

Really cheap and probably the prices around.

They don't do online orders but who cares!!

There really cheap.

feylya

Aye, I've heard good things about Coda alright.

Ravelleman

I've been gassing for a Gibson all week. It hurts.

Search ebay USA for Les Pauls and you'll find all the photos you could ever need. Don't go for rootbeer! For some reason it looks different every time. And it's always bad. Personally I'd go for goldtop or ebony. I find Gibson's flame tops really uninspiring. Where's the bookmatching people?

Shanegggg

Just heard from friend that the iced tea les paul has red at the back.
Its this true?

feylya

Na. Look



It's just the mahogany. Possibly a tinted stain but it's not bright solid red.

Karl Hungus

Another colour that will excite the GAS glands is Black Cherry.

Although I think it looks best in a PRS:

feylya

ESP tbh

Karl Hungus

Pfft, you and your Ee Es Pee!

feylya

I'm getting cremes for that, I swear...

You want want to see if they have any cremes for UGLY!

Not that I actually want any.

It wasn't me!

I got mine for about 1450 second hand on eBay. your best friend for guitars. I like the PRS black cherry finish better.
