i'm so jealous!!!! I have a buddy that has a solid maple custom with black inlays. very sweet! my stepfather has a solid maple standard as well. they look so cool with the maple boards. dont ever sell them dude!
 
You know what sucks Chris....is you have nicer gear than me and you are a bass player! :doh:
 
you suck dude!!!! :gethim: very nice pair you have there :P

that 73' looks exactly like the 73' triple p/u i had. i had the fretless wonder frets too. it was a nice novelty but i prefered my 88'

Very nice :thumbsup:

that finish on a plain top is hideous.still like to have it though!!
 
One word to describe those guitars Chris: MOJO. :eek:

I've seen much worse finishes then that sunburst too, plus, it's the playability and tone that count and I bet it has bags of those. Nice score. :thumbsup:
 
I dont think the finnish looks too bad. I agree about the knobs though..Might want a matching set on there :lol:
 
Looking at those two Les Pauls infront of a Marshall makes me want to throw in Thin Lizzy's Live and Dangerous!!!! Rock!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I seldom get GAS but I have it now. Will Beano cure it? Those Gibsons look real nice sitting there side by side. Good for you. Enjoy.

What do you guys think? Is that sunburst REALLY ugly or just a little ugly? lol...

To me it's cool. Not What I say is my first chioce. Vintage comes to mind. I don't really see anything uncool about it's looks. Bottom line is does it play and sound nice to you?

Here's a cherry sunburst custom with black speed knobs. Do you think this looks better? I do...

Much better, IMO.

I'm not sure if it works but I have heard of using tea to grunge up newer looking things.
 
that sunburst is NOT UGLY it is HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


OHHHHH SNAP that guitar is hot.
 
I actually like the Cherry sunburst on LP Customs, but I think I'd go with cream pickup rings and pickguard and some gold speed knobs. Ace Frehley style ya know! :D
