I just bought a studio' date=' it took a while to choose between the white or red but I finally went with the white because it was originally what i had my heart set on. But I have heard that a problem with the white is that it fades quick and turns to a more older yellowish white.. which some ppl like because its classic vintage. But its a concern to me and I've been debating on whether or not to just go back and get the red so I wouldn't have to worry about it, at least with the red it doesnt fade and you can see the wood grain..
what do you guys think, any stories on the fading?
Also.. anyone know why Gibson disco'd the alpine white???![/quote']
Keep the white one. If you take it back and get the wine red one you'll still have a great guitar but it won't be the one you really wanted. Don't worry about it going a bit yellow. It happens so slowly you'll probably never notice it has happened, someone someday will say to you, "wow, your guitar has aged really nicely" and you won't have noticed the difference. Plus as someone else has already said, there are wine red studios everywhere so its cool to be a bit different.
LP studio.. wine red or alpine white?
in Gibson USA
