 Any color you want. As long as it's black?
What? I can't believe purple wasn't an option! And what about the Goldtop? Or the cherry burst (and for Sal the Lemon Burst and Honey burst?)

I'm an other kinda guy. I also love variety. I don't really want a green guitar since my samick is green. I also love wild finishes like satch's crome JS ibanez.

I still havn't really figured out what I want to do with my guitar i'm rebuilding. It'll be something wild though. Something artsy for sure. Gotta be manly too. Maybe I'll airbrush some flames onto it overtop a while pearl.

Me. I'm kinda partial to black and red, though I did see a green les paul custom that was beautiful.

 Re: Any color you want. As long as it's black?
Okay everyone. The poll only gave me as many spaces as I used for the colors. I would have added more, but I couldn't. That is why I pout the note in there about posting your favorite if it wasn't in the list.

I love black h\guitars, except fot the fingerprint issue. They are hard to keep clean....and as Sal has taught us, they don't show up good on stage.

Unless you wear all white

But yes, stage presence IS important.

This is true....except that when I wear all white I look a lot like the ice cream man.....not good.

From what I remember, the "Ice Cream Man" look worked very well for David Lee Roth. (Then again, anything worked for DLR back then.)

 I like green, why is everybody down on green.
Taht having been said, I like natural finish figured hardwoods and transparent flamed-or-quilted-maple subursts a lot. Then black.
My bass, though, is green with gold hardware. I call her the Green Bean, a Fretless 5 with open headstock, from samick. I love that instrument.

 Re: I like green, why is everybody down on green.
I've got a green samick guitar so not everyone here is against green

But one green guitar is enough for me. I like variety.

 ehh....green is (usually) over-rated
I like most kids of burst. Tobacco-burst, sun-burst, you-name-it-burst and I usually like it. I'm also a big fan of flamed-maple under almost any color (except green........and yellow).

Heh. Well I couldn't let you get away with your love of LPs without any response. If that makes sense.
