Yaff Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Sorry, but I would not describe that as a "cool finish"!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 It's a bit like 'Marmite' (a brown, salty, yeasty, sticky glue that some Brits spread over hot-buttered-toast...) in that it tends to polarize opinion. People tend to either love it or hate it. Very few will be neutral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dem00n Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Nice one. There is definitely a Gibson out there to suit any taste! So they do have 12 string pink les pauls with gold hardware! :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I actually like it (not enough to shell out the readies' date=' you understand) but I think if the green was [i']translucent[/i] - i.e. any flame was visible to the body edge (as on a CSB '59 RI) - and perhaps a bit darker it would start to look very sweet indeed. I think I am correct when I say someone here posted a snap of a LP which was sort of 'Bottle-green-to-Amber-yellow-Sunburst' and I thought it was stunning. I've done a quick search but couldn't find it anywhere. Perhaps I dreamt it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
