Black Dog Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 When it comes to Reissue LP's which do you prefer and why? Sadly I don't really have access to a shop that has a bunch, or really any, of these to look at side by side. Can't tell too much by pictures on the internet. I think I like the VOS better. It also looks like the VOS has aged hardware from what I can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I refer VOS, when I bought my R8 the gloss version was $400 more. I really didn't think it was worth that much to pay for a shiny guitar. I like the VOS finish a lot, my LP has a lot of nicks and scratches now and looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyK Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I'm not sure if the hardware is artificially aged, or whether it just ages very quickly, if you get my meaning. My R0 looks very nice - not glossy, but smart, and the old-looking hardware gives it a vintage look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pesh Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Preferred gloss the whole time, although I'm not minding the VOS as much as I used to. The aged hardware bugs me a bit; on some models they take it too far and it looks aged, not just dulled, like with rust. The finish on the guitar is nice with the VOS, though.

Black Dog Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 Thanks for the replies. I probably should have realized how thoroughly this topic has been beaten in the past. I generally don't like artificially aged stuff very much. However, I don't think the super shiny hardware and finish looks right to me. Dulled is good, rust is too much. Anyway I'm leaning heavily towards VOS at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelT Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I'd rather age mine myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler A Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I have both and prefer it the gloss. I don't mind the aged hardware, but mine had a few rusty screws. I don't like rust on guitars ( or any I my gear ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
