Which one do YOU prefer? And not just on Les Pauls too by the way.

silverburst just plain looks cooler.

Goldtop for me, never really cared for SB

silverburst.

but king youngblood would enact laws for the greater good....to include the follwoing decree:

"thy shall only employ the awesome power o the silverburst on the LPC, and no other. impostors, such as faggoty PRS SEs, LTDs, silberburst guitars without white binding, gutiars bursted only on the top but not the back or neck, guitars without ebony fingerboards ornamented with either block or split inlay, even guitars bearing the blasphemous invalid headstock of epiphone, shall be met with a swift end by the blade for their heretic ways. only the one true silverburst LPC shall wear her colors into battle. goldburst, in her splendor and glory, shall have an appropriately darkened back and correctly colored binding upon her, as her true gibson heritage, but otherwise may be carried by any brand or creed. even thine goldtop bc rich mockingbird, if so properly appointed, may bear her crest. by royal order, ye fucktard peasants"

I you.

I don't get the silverburst love. It just doesn't look good to me. Goldtops are OK. I vote plaintops all day long:

Goldtop all mafking day long. I just wish I could get one wif a florentine cutaway. Amazeballs.

Silverburst ftw.
Best LP finish.

Not that pretty in person but they're amazing in person.

i love how silverbursts age too

Goldtops y


Silverburst ftw

Did Phil Simms take over your fingers there for a second?


I vote Silverburst. I'm not a huge fan of either, but I've NEVER gotten the goldtop appeal and I own a silverburst Agile, so I'll pick that one.

...over a plain top.

The answer is in my avatar ..... although officially mine isn't a 'goldtop'.

I like em both, but I think I would go with a Goldtop.....just more classic looking to me.

Damn, dude - stop holding back - tell us how you really feel

Love the goldtop - especially the one that Phrophus posted with the Bigsby. True class, 'dat. Love the cherry burst that Yarbicus posted even more. Never have been that keen on the silverburst, but it's growing on me. Still not as beautimous as the cherry burst, tho'.

Goldtop LP, loaded with P90s -- always will be a classic look for me. My interest in Silverburst finishes kind of comes and goes. For an SG, I'd take SB over GT any day.

The only GoldTop SG that I have ever seen that I fell in love with is the one that Charlie Starr from Blackberry Smoke has. Sexy guitar.

I've never been a fan of gold tops. I used to like silverburst, but I have gone off that as well.

I'm a sucker for a Silverburst LP Custom. I just think they look awesome. That said, I'm not a LP fan at all, but I just love that look

Odd, I totally agree; I'm a sucker for a Silverburst LP. The problem is I can't play a LP, I'm strictly a superstrat player. This is why I ended up commissioning this last year.

Goldtop.

Sometimes I like how silverbursts look, sometimes I don't. I always like goldtops. Also, silverburst gets ugly as it ages, IMO:
