i7mak7 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I have a problem - I can't identify the color of my Gibson Les Paul Standard. When I bought this guitar, a clerk said that it was in Honey Sunburst. But comparing it to the pictures in the Gibson webpage I found out that its color doesn't look like Honeyburst, nor the other colors shown there. Can someone help me? Tell me how this color is called, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXE® Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 The color code is written under the neck pickup in the cavity... Pictures vary as do colors . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepblue Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 It looks like washed heritage cherry....very nice. It looks the same colour as mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRom Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 That does not look like a honey burst to me. More like cherry. Nice finish though, still a keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMcClane5000 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Iced tea burst maybe? I think I saw this color in a catalogue once... but I'm not sure... Sincerely JohnM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPguitarman Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 id say washed cherry too nice no matter what! +1 to washed cherry, a Honel Burst would have a little more brown tint to the red area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston004681 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Looks like a honeyburst to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil325 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 i don't think its a honeyburst...probably the washed heritage cherry like few have said already. best thing to do is loosen up the strings (or wait til the next string change) and look under the pickup for the color code.

BIGBENDS Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Privet OT CWA! That guitar looks to me like a newer Standard. I know that the Reissues come in Washed Cherry, but do the new ones? Kinda looks like my Lightburst "07 Standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gromaj Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Kinda looks like my Lightburst "07 Standard. I agree with BIGBENDS. I think it looks like a Lightburst. Did it come with a card (from the Gibson factory) that has a product code on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i7mak7 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 Thank y'all! I'm sure it's not a heritage cherry sunburst, now I think it's a light burst. I have pre-pack checklist and the modal number is LP6+LBNHI (or NH1 in the end - someone who packed my guitar has an illegible handwriting). Does LB here mean Lightburst?

LPDEN Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Iced tea burst maybe? I think I saw this color in a catalogue once... but I'm not sure... Sincerely JohnM. Definitely not Iced Tea Burst (see my pic below of my R8 Iced Tea Burst and you can see the difference)' date=' too much red in the coloring to be Iced Tea. I'll guess Light Burst too, bordering on HC.

elessar820 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I don't know if I'm color blind or something, but I think a lot of the burst finishes look very similar to the point they look the same too me. Nice guitar though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
