Silverbursted Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Hey Silverbursted' date=' What year is that goldtop les paul?[/quote'] I just bought it, but according to the serial number its an 06 R7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silv8r8urst Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 Tim A, yea my silverburst is stock. It came with the active EMG pick-ups. and black hardware. Eddie, thats probably the best silverburst i ever seen. Aside from Adam Jones, I think his is a 79 , i love the color of it, that greenish tint but not overwhelming. But please note, i am not one of them that loves the silverburst because of Adam Jones, I love Tool and all, but I love the silverburst because of it beauty and the way it plays.....

ALIEN8 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Tim A, no swords... was meaning silverburst swords... Although I do have a fascination for swords, it's just that I buy guitars instead... I took pics, soon I'll have em posted, need to get to a computer that doesn't have all of the useful websites blocked... Beauty '84, though I'm partial to the fixed bridges... I love how it has aged, really nice! Admittedly I was swayed towards a silverburst paint job due to Adam Jones, and The Mastadon crew to name a few, however I was so very attracted to the GOTW version due to it's difference, and because it looks like the EPI... I love having details that people overlook, only to realize later they missed it... As a blanket statement, I'm human, but different in general, and wanted a guitar that showed that... I appreciate the wood work in a flame top, but didn't want a run of the mill les paul that looked like many others, one in a league of its own - and it had to sound good on top of that. Not bashing, just sayin' silverburst, or bust!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 silv8r8urst, I'm the same...I love Tool, incredible band, but that's not why I bought one either...BUT...I do wish I had five of them, like Jones does. :D They stand out in a crowd, that's for sure.

silv8r8urst Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 Tim A, im glad we agree on that.. I was introduced to the silverburst by watching Jones play, and i wanted one ever since.. So the closest i got was my showcase silverburst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Martin Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Silverbursts are incredible, someday I hope to own one. I recall on eBay many months ago that someone had a custom shop silverburst J-45 or Hummingbird acoustic (I'm pretty sure it was the Hummingbird). It was AMAZING, never seen one of those before and it's NOT what you expect for an acoustic guitar finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleSixx Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 On the original Silverbursts the finish on the necks often wore off over time. I think it had to do with the car paint they used, it would get oxidized and wear down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
