Tim Plains Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Probably not much, maybe just a bit of red. Colour has nothing to do with flame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullet22 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I read somewhere that Gibson changed the name from tobacco to vintage because of the smoking issue.... Nope... Vintage Sunburst and Tobacco Burst are different finishes. I had that confirmed by Gibson Europe. The Tobacco Burst has a tinge of red going into the black before the binding. As for what Slash plays....... Dunno. I heard Vintage Sunburst (at least for his signature series). Some people say Vintage Tobacco Sunburst........ They all rule but he needs to put the scratchplate on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet22 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I think the big difference is the amount of black up at the neck/selector Just to help you.... This is a Tobacco Burst (with red tinge) and wood/flame etc above the neck pup: This is my Vintage Sunburst (no red whatsoever) and 100% black past the neck pup: Same guitar 'in action' (when you really can't tell the difference): This is the USA -and- Epiphone Slash Customs 'Vintage Tobacco' (spliced into one pic - they DO seem to have a little red) but again, 100% black past the neck pup.: So, IMHO, the Slash is somewhere in between a Vintage and Tobacco. Deffo different finishes though. Yes, I am a burst nerd. Sue me. Peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes' date=' I am a burst nerd. Sue me. Peace.[/quote'] I think it's like fenders 2 tone sunburst and 3 tone sunburst... they look close enough but are not the same thing and most people don't seem to notice[crying] Am I right?
