epinder Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I like them both, but vote natural due to its relative obscurity. I like things that are a little different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPDEN Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 I'm always biased towards natural wood guitars. Natural for me That's my bias too. After all it's all wood under there and the grain on wood guitars is part of their beauty. What I like about the Natural is it's a factory natural, not something someone sanded down. Also it seems (from the sources I checked with so far) that the Natural finish was also a lower production compared to the 'bursts, black, and cherry finishes. They weigh a TON, but oh do they ROCK! Despite this period of Pancaked bodies, it's a very appealing guitar to me. I can see why 70's LP's are finally catching on and going up a bit more in value.

Both very nice pieces though [/quote'] Yes, they're are plenty of those plaine janes out there too. I have several non-customs in the mix already to fill that gap, but only one other LPC. As for "pretty", that's not the reason for the poll. As mentioned above "(Both sound great)", so the poll is all things being equal - sound and feel; Which finish would you choose?

LPDEN Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Damn...I like both! Yes, These 32 year-old guitars do look and sound nice for their age. Best part is I was happy to find them both in original/unmolested condition in their original cases. But I realize some people don't go for LP's after '68 or before the current "Golden Age"...

SilverLesterStd Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Gotta say that for me it would burst or bust. I don't think you'll go wrong either way. The sunburst reminds me little of my old (ex) T-60's finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
