If you got it refinished, what color would you aim for?

I think your choice of what you would want the refinish to look like looks great.

The only things that haven't been changed to vintage are the things that are most costly like the rythm/treble pokerchip .. Pickguard .. ABR1 , Tailpiece ... But nothing is stock Gibson anymore !! All the Metal parts are Pigtail ... All plastic is either DMC or Vintage Clone , If it's not real 59 !!!

Well I got a set of 1959 LP knobs for Sybil !!! Not the set that I was supposed to get though !!! The US Postal service lost those !!! But KIM of Vintage Checkout made the situation right and had a new set to me quick as hell !!! Amazing customer service !!! !!!
