Just got mine this week! Decided to take some "glamour shots" tonight......

Man, I few years ago I really wanted a manhattan midnight LE standard, but I never got it. After a falling out period with guitar, I finally got a LP. I got a R7 and I'm quite happy with it.

I remember being struck by the beauty of the Manhatten Blue when I first saw it. I'd never seen a vertical burst and thought that maybe the photos were creating the effect until I saw one at a local store.

Mine's an '04 Santa Fe Sunrise. It sounds killer on top of its looks! I wasn't in the market to buy when I saw this, but I've always been a sucker for a pretty face. This color, along w/ the Black Cherry have an unusual quality - the wood takes the stain unevenly and even good flame isn't "alive" like on a regular burst paint job. I don't like it so much on a lot of the Limiteds unless the flame is really good.

Anyone know more about the method of stain/finish on the Sunrise and Black Cherry models? Next to my Historic, this is also the heaviest of my LPs.

Fixed the pictures that I posted earlier! I can't believe I finally got me one of these beauties!

The Custom in my avatar is an '03 1957 Custom 3-pup in Faded Cherry that got a "black flame tattoo" while still at the Custom shop, so it has a CS ser #, instead of 7 3XXXX. The top is almost walnut from the photo-reactive quality of the stain, the rest is still red. The sound is unreal - mahog is a great tone wood. No chambering, I think, cause it's heavy as a tank! 1957 and hot rods - it's a natural match : )

ahhhh
ordered my manhattan midnight ltd lp from southpaw guitars last week.
i was going to get a regular standard but Gibson stopped making lefties, so i had to settle for the limited edition hahaha.

well for this effect they hand rub a dark stain onto the top and wipe it off. The stain will be absorbed into the less dense maple (the curl ) than into the harder growth ring. Giving the light /dark depth. Really nice on heavy flame like this .

Zack Pomerleau · 04-08-2008, 01:59 PM

Lair how big is that LP?

Lair22 · 04-08-2008, 06:18 PM

Same size as any LP Std (after thinking of and rejecting several clever replies). I don't have a scale but I pulled my others out to compare and it's easily heavier than my '05 Faded, Fadeds seem to be light in general; almost the same as my '01 LP Plus, which I judge to be too heavy to gig with. Probably sub-ten pound but not by a lot. My 57 Custom Historic (solid mahog) is unnaturally heavy but it's got the Tone.

Welcome to the Forum, let's see your Heritage Cherry! It's one of my favorite finishes.
