What a nice looking Les Paul. What are some of your favorite Les Paul finishes?

[50WPLEXI]

I really like the Green Lemon burst on the Paul Kossoff model, alas I will never have one $$$$$

A nice subtle burst is always a classic. Can't beat a gold top, or a custom either. Those crazy colors are not for me, but hey to each his own.

I think the official name of mine is 'antiquity burst' ...

My new guitar has my favorite finish. It's "Lemonburst" in theory but its more between "Ice Tea" and "Honey" to me.

Well, the few months after this was posted, my top color for a LP has changed to Ebony.

 

[CaptainZero]

Captcoolaid's LP that he posted in another thread. God damn. This finish is so amazing.

This one kills! The flame in the (Maple?) is fucking sweet! Not too tight, very random. I don't know if I've seen one this good looking, and there are a ton of good looking flame top LPs out there.

Edit: Only wish it bookmarked (minor).

I favor the more random flame tops too (yes maple). I know a lot of people insist on a "tight" flame, but I love the way the end grains fade from flame to almost a quilt on mine (and on Cpts as well). I knew when I saw it that I had to own it. I've never seen another one like it. And they are all book matched (meaning the maple is cut in 1/2 then laid side by side like opening a book), but not all cuts of maple are created equal.

My Supreme has a 5A (AAAAA) top, but I still prefer the Classic.

This thread makes me want an iced tea/washed cherry historic reissue in the worst way.
