Hmmm - must be cherry for me - that's my ES-330, SG Classic, Guild Starfire II and Epi Casino.

What a glorious double-brace of instruments!
Do you find the 330 and the Casino are pretty much identical, sound-wise?

Why thank you!

Indeed they are, and possibly the Casino shades it unplugged as being a tad more lively... but the ES-330 was my present to myself for my 60th birthday, and is what I always wanted. The Casino has been in its case ever since, which is a bad thing.

Worse than that, it should have said 'Stephen'...

I like this sort of thing:

but lighter - almost white on the edges and a normal blue in the middle. Dunno what it's called - inverse blue burst? When I treat myself to a custom shop number in a few years it'll be that colour.

Apart from that 3TSB or black is my usual preference.

Used to hate sunbursts and the Rick fireglo.

Like them now, especially a vintage two colour burst.

LP Blue is lovely. Also gold gibsons, and the fender golds can be lovely too.

I'm not...

I've a trans yellow 335 copy
I've a matt trans Strat copy
I've an old lake placid blue tele copy
I've a gloss trans jazz bass copy (only colur they do in lefty)
I've a satin black Bass VI copy
I've a 3 tone sunburst Strat
and a 2 tone sunburst strat copy..

I like bursts - especially those often called vintage or dark. I like them to go almost black at the edge. That said, I'd love a blue guitar.

Generally don't like sunburst on any guitar type. I've an MIJ Jag in 3TS that I had planned to refinish in lake placid blue, but it's playing so well I'm reluctant to do anything to it. I've removed the tort pickguard and added a white one so it looks a bit better.

Anything looks good in black, but black strats bore the bejesus out of me, except when it has a matching headstock. Seen a few of those around and they are lovely.

For Gibson semi-hollows, cherry.

I really like wine red on a Les Paul. Or a 'burst on a Les Paul (heritage cherry, honey burst if it's got a bit of red in it, light burst, etc). Heck, I really like the kinda washed cherry Fender Strats you can get as well. Even though I love other finishes like I love black/ebony, as I have a black LP and I have a black Gretsch as well... but I really get on board with reds, bursts and black!

Howdy, Stranger!
