2004 Gibson LP Standard 50's neck (full strength A2 Antiquity neck, uncovered Seth Lover bridge) in Heritage Cherry Sunburst. you can get closer to jimmy's with a light burst i think.

First- I thought Jimmy was wearing Ace Frehley boots in that pic!


Second- is it a Custom? If it's a LP Custom, covers. If it's a standard or RI, cream rings, gold knobs and covers are your call- black, white, zebra, all look good.

yeah light burst is closer, plus i think that the red is just to over powering, or isnt it?
 
Re: Tobacco burst LP....pickup covers??

Seriously, why not?

The red dye tends to fade when it's subjected to sunlight. When people get new Les Pauls and complain about the red bleeding into the binding, the quickest, easiest and best solution is to leave the guitar in the sun for a little while.

You'll see on old Les Pauls, fading where sunlight has been able to "bleach" the finish- such as under the pickguard, under the switch ring and mounting rings. However a lot of the fading was done right away when dealers recieved the guitars. There's still a phenomenon of the "switch tag" which was a little paper pamphlet that hung off the selector switch- to this day, there are guitars that you can see the shadow of where that tag hung on the guitar while it was hanging, new, in the shop 47 years ago.

"The red pigment used for the current Les Paul Standards is designed to maintain its coloration and not fade, whereas, the Custom Shop Historic Reissues use red aniline dye that can bleed into the binding and fade as time goes on." Gibson Customer Support
 
Re: Tobacco burst LP....pickup covers??

Now enter the double cream into the mix! And the covered neck/cream bridge! Man, tougher decision now than when I started. Golden boy is right, I think any of them will look good, just a matter of me deciding. Gotta think about it some more.
