Voodoo Monkey Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Hey guys! Besides the obvious poll, I wanna know a bit more about the LP Custom. Which one is the original finish in which the LP Custom was issued? Which one do u like best and why? I like the black. I like the looks and my first guitar teacher back in the early 80's had one. The alpine white is nice though. My favorite Custom LP is a cream aged one like Randy Rhoad's. I would take that over pretty much anything.

L5Larry Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 The original Les Paul Custom was available in ALL the same colors as the Ford Model T.......Black, Black, or Black. Or as Henry Ford stated it, "You can have a Model T in any color you like as long as it's black." I don't remember any other colors until the early/mid seventies. That said, I prefer the white. My stepson has a white one which has aged to a really cool looking cream/yellow, black trim and gold hardware... one sharp looking (and great sounding) guitar.

Malchik Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Well, black is the classic custom color, much like standards is gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btoth76 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 no worries... I actually knew white lp's were played by some greats.... I just hate the look of white guitars... but to each his own... Exactly. I always wanted to have a cream 70s LP. One reason for it, that it was Randy Rhoads who's influence got me to take guitar playing seriously. The other reason that it's simply beautyful. :) Cheers...
