60th AV R9 Finish: Cherry Tea vs. Golden Poppy

wrussell1992l · Apr 24, 2019

Hi everyone, I am looking to buy my first (and only) Les Paul and fell in love with the 60th Anniversary 1959 Reissue. Problem is I love almost all of the finish options.... Curious if anyone has thoughts or maybe even side-by side comparison photos of Golden Poppy Burst and Cherry Teaburst? The guitar will be purchased sight unseen. Right now I am leaning toward Golden Poppy Burst due to Abracadaben's amazing photos here: https://www.lespaulforum.com/forum/showthread.php?211345-NGD-2019-59-60th-Brazilian. What would be your pick?

Right, go for gold. I like the looks of my CC#24.

Pick what YOU like. I'm partial to cherry so that would be my choice.

Fair. Not sure what I expected

. Golden Poppy Burst order is in. Will post pics and thoughts when I receive. First Les Paul and third guitar behind a early 2000s MIM Strat and a 2008 SG Standard!
