Vintage Sunburst - Badass appreciation thread [PICS]

The most badass finish. Sure, you've got your pretty Cherry, your retro Honey, your fancy Goldtop, your gothic Black, and your, uh, weird Blue ... but nothing beats your badass Vintage.

Epiphone Slash's are welcome. Tobaccos are welcome. Post your Vintage Sunburst Les Pauls!

Go ahead, post pics of your Vintage next to a bottle of Jack, next to your favorite amp, or being shredded on.

Since we're not following the rules anyway...

My two sunbursts on the right.


And throw in an LP for posterity.

Hey Coop, you ever think about throwing some double whites in that bad boy? It would look so good!

Heh, that photo was taken at my mom's house. We lived with her for a couple of months and her old office became my guitar room... so I got the wallpaper and the chairs and such.

But yes, it is a nice capo.

Re: Vintage Sunburst - Badass appreciation thread [PICS]

I got a vintage sunburst (I will get pics up eventually) and I have been trying to figure out if a 3 ply black pickguard would look good on it because I hate the single ply cream piece of crap. Anybody have experience with that formula? I am assuming I would probably need to change the pickup ring to black as well, and that seems like it tends to be a pain with Epis. Also, the binding is cream, so I don't know if the white ply in the pickguard will kill it.

This should give you an idea. It's not a VS but you can't have everything!
Check the first pic of the finished guitar.

Yeah, I think the vintage is the kind of finish you have without a pickguard.... but the cream goes very well with the finish so I have nothing against keeping it on. I took mine off recently too.

Takin' the pickguard off was the first thing I did after I unpacked my baby! It came with a nice historic style pickguard, though.

Hey guys, any of you got black reflectors on your vintage sunburst LP here? I've seen gold, but only one poor picture of black... I'm hesitating to buy myself either black or gold, so please, help me out by posting pics! Thanks in advance : )
