Thermionik Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 . . Black - every time, black, black, black..... or Natural. But not white. .
PJsvob Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 I like alpine white with gold hardware looks classy in my opinion
restrain1 Posted November 25, 2008 Author Posted November 25, 2008 yeah that's the one im talking about.. i was thinking that the white is more unusual also than the black one.. i believe that's the reason that most of them white ones are more expensive than the blacks? am i right or...?
restrain1 Posted November 25, 2008 Author Posted November 25, 2008 Which color do YOU like best? wish i knew right now...
Tim Plains Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 White will hard to keep clean and black will show every mark/scratch. The gold will wear off on both... Get a silverburst!
Ian Martin Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Let's see... (and this is nothing but my OPINION): - A 'black beauty' is one of the staple Gibson designs. For Les Pauls, it's up there with the Goldtop and the Cherry Sunburst. All three of those are LEGENDARY WINNERS. - Black shows EVERYTHING. I personally don't want to polish every ten seconds (and I don't give a **** about how my guitars look...but black looks BAD gunky) so I will never again buy black. - If I had to choose one personally, I'd probably go with white...BUT... - ...gold hardware on white looks like tacky 'faux luxury' garbage. So I'd switch it all out to chrome. - As for as popular icons who play the white Custom, there are only two who stick out in my mind: Randy Rhoads (awesome) and Kevin Jonas (not so awesome) ...have you considered Wine Red or Natural (my personal favorite)?
restrain1 Posted November 25, 2008 Author Posted November 25, 2008 ...have you considered Wine Red or Natural (my personal favorite)? well.... to be honest... no.
retrosurfer1959 Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Black all the way white just seems so Jonas Brother or 12 year old toy guitar. Now 30 years into the future there's nothing quite as pretty as the aged natural caramel color a white guitar gets after decades of play... Bottom line is what you like but a black Gibson Les Paul is about as iconic as you get in Rock and a white Gibson is well white.
AXE® Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 There is only one clear answer here... mmm...NO!!!
daveinspain Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 First one Black.... Second one White...
restrain1 Posted November 25, 2008 Author Posted November 25, 2008 There is only one clear answer here... mmm...NO!!! what do you mean?
restrain1 Posted November 25, 2008 Author Posted November 25, 2008 oh and by the way.. what's a regular price for a new one? black or white? thanks again!
littlekenny Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 oh and by the way..what's a regular price for a new one? black or white? thanks again! google is your friend
Guitarooster52 Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 I have the Cherry Burst because I got a deal on a used one but I originally wanted a Black one...they look Classy as hell!
Tim Plains Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 restrain1, try guitarcenter.com or musiciansfriend.com to get a pricing idea.
:oilpit: Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 There is only one clear answer here... mmm...NO!!! You don't like Black Beautys???
maestrovert Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 i couldn't decide between black or white myself, so i have both
HeadCase Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Black. I went for the VOS finish because I don't like 'em hi-gloss + I don't want all those fingerprints. F.Y.I., because of the finish used - the White can eventually turn cream or yellow, if that matters to you.
restrain1 Posted November 25, 2008 Author Posted November 25, 2008 i couldn't decide between black or white myself' date=' so i have both[/quote'] hehehe that is nice :))
restrain1 Posted November 25, 2008 Author Posted November 25, 2008 well... guys.. after a lot of thinking and cigarette use i came to this conclusion... WHITE IT IS... i know that most of you prefer the black one but i have my own little strange reasons... 1)i always wanted a white guitar 2)i find it more original that the black one 3)i prefer to have a historic black one and not a new one (as they are more beautiful as a relic) 4) i would like to see it in some years getting cream or yellow (as mentioned above, thanx) 5)im in love with it 6)very in love with it... wish me luck thanks for all your help!! George
