Blue or Amber

calibud · 09-15-2008, 09:36 PM

hey guys whats up?

i know your getting tired of my so this'll be my last thread

so the past week or so i have been waiting on my new trans blue standard to get in. and i have been down to gc on a few occasions. mainly just to play things i cant afford. but i was sitting there looking at the ''wall of fun'' cuz hell thats what it really is, and came across this trans amber standard. now i have decided that i am tired of waiting for my new blue to come in and i want that trans amber. so i play it and play it some more and its no better or worse than the blue but damn does that amber look amazing.

so what do you guys/gals think?

Trans Amber:

or
Trans Blue:

The amber, why? Because its tangible. You can pick it up, smell it, play it, feel it in your hands. The trans blue may not speak to you. If the amber does, pick it up.

i mainly picked up the blue for its oddity, and the fact that not many play the blue. but the amber is like switching from a burnette to a blonde. both have their ups and downs. cept the blonde is way hotter.

god guitar center is going to hate me, they'll prolly ban me

Scooter2112 · 09-15-2008, 09:41 PM

Between those two choices, I'd say Amber every time.

qwank · 09-15-2008, 09:45 PM

I love the blue but i could see myself getting sick ofit after a while. i'd say amber.

qwank · 09-15-2008, 09:45 PM

BTW, looks like you lost your bet huh

surfer777 · 09-15-2008, 09:50 PM

i don't think guitar center will hate you, they run their store for a reason---to sell guitars! if you end up leaving with one of their guitars I don't think they're realy going to care if they have one extra blue les paul in stock, chances are good it is going to get sold.

My vote: Amber

As stated above, I would get sick of the blue after a while, and if I got a good amber I would never get bored.

EDIT: My real vote would be honeyburst but that wasn't an option haha

on the contrary i actually havent watched an ounce of tv. which is what i was mainly cutting out. im actually doing homework for this damn class. so technically im multitasking.

and f that kid hes gonna owe me some $ when i come shredding some gnr in his acoustic ibanez playing face! btw im probably a lil inebriated... so if your too drunk to remember it didnt happen.

surfer777 · 09-15-2008, 09:53 PM

so technically you're CHEATING on your bet...

haha, just kidding

yeah pretty much, but not wholeheartedly, i was merely cutting out any non play/work/school time to get better. plus unless myibanezacoustic.com is directly correlated with mlp im not in any immediate danger.

Gunner · 09-15-2008, 10:02 PM

I like the blue but I think the Amber is really a sweet looking axe!

lifele55 · 09-15-2008, 11:13 PM

the amber is sweet, so is the blue... go with what you prefer really.

Ya took the words right outta my mouth !!!

calibud · 09-16-2008, 10:23 AM

qwank · 09-16-2008, 10:29 AM

i wish i had two great pics to compare side by side. considering i dont look at the gc pics at all cuz its like a night and day difference there. that and gc sold the one i played the other day and they are apparently special order only. so i cant even go back down there to compare.

Knarbens · 09-16-2008, 01:06 PM

I'd never go for a blue Les Paul! That's a traditional guitar and blue is not the colour for a historical instrument! (My opinion!...)

Jason · 09-16-2008, 01:10 PM

The only solution I see is one of each. I honestly think they're both pretty awesome colors... regardless of whether or not blue was a traditional guitar color! If we just stuck with tradition, we'd all still be playing one of these:

Knarbens · 09-16-2008, 01:18 PM

... just my opinion! I never sad anything about someone elses...

jo07 · 09-16-2008, 01:43 PM

hah I check amber but I like both

It's all good man! I for one am glad we don't all agree on everything.

inxs996 · 09-16-2008, 02:55 PM

Amber all the way.....

bigdaddy496 · 09-16-2008, 02:59 PM

<-----terribly partial to the perriwinkle blue bay

citrixmeta · 09-16-2008, 03:38 PM

<--- seriously, how can you go wrong

gravmy0 · 09-16-2008, 04:16 PM

I rented that blue type epi les paul standard once when my cherry sunburst was at the shop.
I didn't really like the blue up close and I really dig the close up of citrix's amber top. That's a nice flame.

zabikt · 09-16-2008, 04:47 PM

Definitely Amber. It's just more stylish and always suits you well!
