ddsax422 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Hey guys, What are your favorite colors on a Gibson guitar? Mine, for example, is gold top, but I'm also a fan of heritage cherry, iced tea burst and royal tea burst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDog Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 My favourite is Cardinal Red. But I also like Sparkling Burgundy that is Gibson’s own name for a GM color. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Scales Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Not a huge fan of Gibson colours, but I like TV yellow, Polaris white and Silver Fox. Most Gibson guitars look good in black too I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mihcmac Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) I have always had a thing for TV Yellow, going back a ways, but just one at a time.. It has something to do with the first time I heard a LP TV DC.... My SG-X, below, was a deviation, but it was such a screamer. I have more with a natural finish than anything else. I just like the wood showing through. Then I have translucence covered with Green, Blue and Cherry.

01GT eibach Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 In general, I really like almost all bursts ... EXCEPT for green and blue bursts. My brother just bought a Gibson "Green Ocean Burst" Les Paul Classic (a Sweetwater exclusive). I dunno, maybe it will grow on me when I see it in person ... Don't tell my brother what I said ...

Notes_Norton Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I'm not fond of that particular green 01GT, but to each his/her own. I avoid greens on stage because when lights reflect off of it onto your skin, it makes you look sick. It's a subliminal thing for the audience's perception, not a personal preference. Reds and pinks are better reflected on your skin. Insights and incites by Notes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 The bottom picture looks like my Vintage White Tele when it was new in 97. The middle picture looks like my Vintage White Tele today. He might be using a White Blonde, which I think mid 80's was in the color range. rct 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I've always been a sucker for anything with a natural wood grain. That's why I love the 1958 Les Pauls. I do love a good burst too. Those Cherry Burst Customs are awesome. Of course I also love the Gold Top color. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
