RolandJ Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I am planning on selling this soon and want to Know if it is indeed a plus top,,, I was told that rootbeer was never an option for plus tops.?? I am pretty sure there is way too much flame in the top for it not to be a plus. ??thanks for any/all input.

animalfarm Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Sure looks like Plus Top to me, color may not be the current options on sale at MF ($549.00), may put it into the "limited edition" category, or may just be a color that was popular at the time the guitar was manufactured. The gold "tophat-style" knobs lead me to think "limited". What year? I'll add your pic to speed up process: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RolandJ Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 thanks for everyones help, I believe it is an 05 , I saw MF's ad this mornig for the $100 price drop on most Epi's, figures just when i bring myself to sell mine LOL. But this color is very rare and I think it should do fine on e-bay, again thanks everyone, Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TehLesPaulZorz Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I think it may just be a plus top with a darker cherry sunburst... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_edward Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Yes that is a plus top, that's figured maple - not a plain top which would not be figured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest icantbuyafender Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 root beer is a gibson finish...this is way too lightof a shade to be root beer. I am guessing it is a lighter finished honey burst that doesn't quite burst as much as say the heritage cherry. the shade change is subtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RolandJ Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 thanks to all once again, this is a great resource. I don't know if it is a cherry cause it has no red tint at all in it,,,it looks to be the same color as my friends Gibby rootbeer LP, the pic I put up is not a very good example in that it makes it look to light , well it's on ebay as I write this, thanks again to all, Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
