Which looks cooler?

locum-motion · 30-12-2015 11:47pm #1

Owing to a misunderstanding (since sorted out) between the mod and me, my last effort at this thread has been moved and closed, so I'm trying again.

I've decided to make a purchase soon, and I'm having difficulty choosing.

So, which looks cooler?

To be clear, I'm not asking about the relative musical merits of the two guitars featured. They are, after all, absolutely identical except for the colour. This is purely a visual aesthetic question.

Heritage Cherry Sunburst:

Vintage Sunburst:

Thank you all, but will you all please vote in the poll if you haven't already?

Cherry for me. It seems to have more life in it than the other one. You'd walk in to a room and be brightened by its brightness(<--makes sense in my head). The other one is dull and boring and I personally would get sick of looking at it after a week.

They are both horrid. Go for HoneyBurst.

Rothko · 31-12-2015 3:27am

First one by far

Vintage is subtle, will age well.

aaronjumper · 31-12-2015 3:52am

Cherry one has more life in it.

Depends on who's playing it

Vintage is best.

'Gibson' is spelled incorrectly on both. I wouldn't trust either.

:pac:

I agree with Schwiing. Honey burst all the way.

Very true. The first part anyway. :P

SomeFool · 31-12-2015 4:50am

Another vote for the honeyburst, I'm colourblind mind........

Canis Lupus · 31-12-2015 6:22am

I don't like either, if that helps.

Yeah but the ones without the mis-spelling are 10x more expensive!!

Not a big fan of Honey Burst myself, but:

Aaakev (or other mod): Can you add a HoneyBurst option to the Poll?

Oh, and an Atari Jaguar!!

Bump.

Please vote!!

I did vote. Some recognition for my hard work and honesty would be nice!

How long until you decide which one you want? Out of curiosity, not being a smart arse. Not in this paragraph anyway.

If I might confuse the issue still further...

If you're in the market for an LP style guitar, and your budget is in Epiphone territory, you really should include these in your dilemma.

Also, many many other tasty options. Tokai make bloody good guitars. They certainly out-Gibson Epiphone.

Getting off topic, but thanks. They don't appear to have the same type of switchable pickups (humbucker/single coil) as the Epiphones have.
