I'm with Grunch on this one...I like the classic colors the best. The Pelham blue doesn't do much for me personally. You can't beat a custom though!

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Tobbacco Burst, Silverburst, and a blue sparkle.

With an honorable mention to Ebony.

And that pelham blue does look pretty friggen awesome.

I've always liked the old bursts. I had a tobacco sunburst.
The Les Paul I didn't buy, but should have in the 80's, had the most unique finish. I don't know what they called it. Midnight Blue Lightnng or something like that. Reminded me of Frampton's...but different. It was a dark blue cloudy finish and looked like it had lightning running through the finish. I've never seen another one like it again.

 

[hellride]

Cherryburst ftw

 

[DirtySteve]

Honeyburst...

 

[crossroadsnyc]

Heritage Cherry / GoldTop / Ebony (in that order) ... the rest I'm kind of ho-hum about.

Least favorite = SilverBurst

 

[V-man]

I'm and Ebony and Alpine guy (ebony board mandatory)

That said, I can appreciate someone else's burst with a rosewood board. If I set out to make my own style (can we say "delusional sig-series anticipation"?) mine would be a deep green plaintop or dark green burst with ebony board.

Call me a boring old fart but I don't think you can beat this finish for a LP.

Lightburst (got it)
Tabacco burst (GASing for, can't afford it!)
Wine red (circa 1990/1) wannit, can't afford it!

Actually writing it all down like this is kinda therapeutic. All of a sudden realise how lucky i am to have one of my dream guitars, feel like i shouldn't be greedy.

Thanks guys, the GASing's done for now so credit card and grief from the missus saved, for now!
