capmaster Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 notice as well that all of those funky coloured ones have coloured binding all the way around.. pretty different hows about this Sweetwater '59 Reissue Les Paul - Aurum Burst Very sweet '59 reissue! The coloured bindings and headstock inlays shown in your first post are not to my taste. Think they rather were deal-breakers for me. In contrary, some of the tops and top finishes look nice to my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quapman Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I will never have 5 gees to spend on a guitar but if I did I quite like that top one in Hornet Yellow. Not so much the one in this pic though. They have 4 of them. I really like the one with the least amount of black on it.

kaleb Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 The Explorer reminds me of a Hamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauloon Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 That ''metallic red swirl'' one looks like the maple cap been attacked by fungi!.......Description: Tar spot is an ugly but mostly harmless disease that strikes several maple species. And I know i'll get shot down in flames for this....but an L.P. ain't an L.P. unless it's got a pickguard/scratchplate fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbluesplayer Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Oh boy - All those colored ones except the orange one look like they were never intonated during setup at the factory. It'd be interesting to see if that gets fixed during the inspection and setup process at Sweetwater. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacealf Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Well, with all the different types of mahogany trees there are, it's a wonder that more people are not talking about the density of the wood, the density of the different maple trees and just the density of it all, I suppose. The guitar is like your density! http://www.differencebetween.info/difference-between-rosewood-and-mahogany However, due to the high demand for mahogany, has led to overlogging of the trees. This has in turn led to CITES listing Swietenia mahagoni on its endangered list, while S. macrophylla King, and S. humilis Zucc are listed as vulnerable.

rocketman Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I like the blue one too for some reason. Gibson is trying out some PRS colors. I wonder if PRS should sue! :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
