SmokestackElRopo · 04-06-2008, 11:52 PM

Goldtop.............

ISOgoldtone · 04-06-2008, 11:53 PM

Flame gets my vote!

brettk7 · 04-06-2008, 11:56 PM

I like my guitars to pretty much be on fire.

But, I'm a sucker for an alpine white or a gold top Lester as well!

ledfree · 04-07-2008, 04:45 AM

Err.. Flame.

Paul · 04-07-2008, 08:32 AM

antei · 04-07-2008, 04:44 PM

I voted for flame but plain is good too!

Jake 2112 · 04-07-2008, 07:23 PM

Yea I voted flame, but plain is also great! Ill take a les paul either way

im_b0r3d_ · 04-07-2008, 07:31 PM

Plain

needlespauls · 04-07-2008, 10:38 PM

I really can't decide. My LP is two in one. Straight on in regular light I love the almost plain smooth grain to it, and as soon as I tilt it an inch it sets on fire!!! I like both sorry!

2manyGuitars · 04-07-2008, 11:17 PM

Flame in the middle, plain at the edges?

Belzeebub · 04-07-2008, 11:23 PM

Plain for me. For some reason, I tend to associate the flame finish with being glamorous, sophisticated and formal - kinda like wearing a tux or some sort of formal dinner wear. And I also tend to associate it with jazz. I suck in playing jazz and so I gravitate towards the plain which IMO is kinda laid back but watch out!

dwagar · 04-08-2008, 01:07 AM

Flame for me. I associate flame with a real burst.

twinrider1 · 04-08-2008, 12:00 PM

Had to vote flame. But a goldtop is something to behold.

Bucknasty · 04-08-2008, 12:58 PM

I love the plain. So I voted for it. Flame is alright but it really depends on what color you go with.
