Candy Apple Maestro!

I personally love Candy Apple Red on SG's, probably in my top-5 of fave colors on them (others being REAL cherry, Pelham Blue, black and white). With custom-order guitars pretty much any color Gibson does is possible (unless it's wood-specific like a burst or something), and luckily Candy Apple Red is a mainstay...SHOULD be an option on NON-custom guitars, it's one of their better finishes hands-down. As with most of the SG finishes, I think as long as it's got a good clearcoat on top (and the finish isn't sinking into the grain) that'd be a great color to have onstage. I thought about getting one of my Epi's refinished in Candy Apple Red, to be honest. Just gotta love that nice shade o' red with the sparkles. =D>

 

And yes, it looks legit. And it DOES have binding, look again. If it were several hundred less I'd max out the Discover card to get it just because I'm a sucker for the color. But at that price for a used one with the stock incorrect horn shaping I'd just rather pay the upcharge to custom order one and tell 'em to pay a little special attention to the horns for me. =D>

 

Not a bad guitar overall though, perfect for someone who wants one that'll stand out a little more.
