GibSinCity Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Has anyone else noticed the metallic flakes added to the finishes on 2015 models? I was in GC the other day and noticed it. Especially on the darker colors like wine red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblooded Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Yes! The flakes they add to the clearcoat over the burst finishes looks dynamite! You have to look for it, but it's the little details like that in a paint job or clearcoat finish that make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pesh Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Is this on the Standard line? The ones with a "candy" finish? Or is this on other guitars like the Traditional, too? Haven't really liked what I saw in the promo photos of the 2015 Standards, but maybe they look better in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GibSinCity Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Looks like it's on the five Les Paul Standard "Candy" finishes. But not on the Les Paul Traditionals. http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/2015/USA/Les-Paul-Standard-en.aspx#LPS15W3CH1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. C.O. Jones Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Wow, good to know! I like that metalic stuff on Fender's, but I'm not sure about Les Paul's with it. Guess I have to see it in person to judge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pesh Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Thanks, GibSinCity; I thought as much but good to know from someone else, too. I'll have to go an have a proper look at these at some point; I've not given any a decent study yet. Any excuse to visit the local! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
