restrain1 Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share 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...?

Tim Plains Posted November 25, 2008 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Martin Posted November 25, 2008 Share 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)?

retrosurfer1959 Posted November 25, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadCase Posted November 25, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

restrain1 Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share 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!!
