Hi ya all !! Just noticed these days where the finishes of certain LP's are headin', Seem's like there are a quite selections when it comes to colors/finishes whether its: Sunburst,Ripple,Tigered,Flamed or Flip-Flop,Desert Burst or my personal fave? the Trans-luscent/Am-ber finish. What are you personal faves besides the basic earlier ones? Care to share? " Paint it Black " :wail:

I love the Amber and Desert bursts, but then again, a Black or Wine Red Custom still gets my attention.

finishes

I love tea bursts, but also remember a 'chicago burst' which was a cherry burst with green instead of red, unique, but in questionable taste.

Finishes

It's blue sparkle for me followed by the silver sparkle, although
I've not seen one of those in person. Cascade green Catalina's
are nice too- kinda aqua colored.

A beat up sunburst,honeyburst or some teabursts work for me. Not to flamey, almost plaintops.
As long as they look like theyve been played!:fiend

right with you to the point where I like an 'unburst' ie where the red has faded out completely. That transparent amber has me drooling a little though.

I think 'bursts & flame tops look ugly. :)

Transluscent !!!

Anyone come across a Trans-Amber finish. I noticed that there are quite array of finishes in them. Some show just the wood grain, some with the flamed, some sort of like a honey, and some that looks almost like a Goldtop depending how you look from...quite interesting. Never seen a finish that could reflect so much shades and color angle...There is something about that Trans-Amber i tell yah! " Keep on Rockin' in the Free World ":wail:
