Do you have any idea how ugly a white Les Paul with creme pickguard, rings, and gold knobs would be?

Definitely not something you see every day. Not necessarily my first choice, but it has a certain charm to it. I'd consider one if I ran across a good deal. Is it that much different than a white Strat with a white pickguard, knobs, and PU covers, and a maple fretboard? We've certainly gotten used to that lack-of-contrast look. Why not on an LP?

You know what's weird?
I find that white LP with the gold speeds and the cream pickguard and rings to be hideous ... yet it's very close to the Gretsch White Penguin, which I love.

I have strange, conflicting tastes.

All for only $429.95?
I could work with this... hmm... :33:
And if Madonna buys an original Burst, everyone has to get rid of theirs? Hey, if you want to figure Madonna into your guitar tastes and purchases that's fine, but you won't see a lot of us doing it too.
