Thanks What is it your asking? Your curious about options and then you tell us Ice Tea Burst. That probably is a finish option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 The sunburst Les Paul wasn’t available till ‘58. In ‘56 carved top Les Pauls were available in gold (Standard) and black (Custom) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don333 Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 I have all the official papers,C.O.A., doesn’t appear as a fake. That’s why I’m asking about finish options. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NighthawkChris Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Nice looking guitar otherwise... really nice. Probably sounds great too I’ll bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 You already have the guitar ! It looks great. That's the sort of grain & burst I would choose. Why do you want to refinish it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don333 Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 Not looking to refinish myself. It’s beautiful. Having trouble finding info on plain top ‘56 reissue. Most are gold tops. Just hard to find info/pics. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trail Dog Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I've got one of these! It was a limited run of 60 (?) It has a 50's style neck that rings like a pitch-fork! Original 1956 Les Pauls were all goldtops, and the 1st with a tune-a-matic bridge. The story goes that 1 person ordered one in the sunburst finish, and since they were meant to be painted gold, it had a plain-top. There was only 1 made like that. I went shopping for a goldtop at Norman's Rare Guitars and they had 3 I tried, but this oddball one was my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01GT eibach Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) Yes, most 1956s are gold tops or black. But as I recall, the first burst ever made was in 1956 and was what people generally refer to as a "tobacco burst" (the black to yellow) with cream P90s and pickguard. Very rare.
