Antiquity

Nirvana33 · 04-14-2011, 05:27 PM

love when nobody agrees...lol

Those choices you guys made based on the flames or the color? Wanted opinions on the top itself.

thanks

shadco · 04-14-2011, 05:28 PM

among those Iced tea different tops might change things

EasyAce · 04-14-2011, 05:30 PM

I rather like the teaburst myself among the three.

RobP · 04-14-2011, 05:30 PM

...all of them!

goodwater · 04-14-2011, 05:31 PM

I'd go with atlanta

Ice Tea.

zx1012r · 04-14-2011, 05:47 PM

I'm going antiquity. Just by flame, but the color does it more for me also.

(If you don't buy it let us know where it is;-)

nicolasrivera · 04-14-2011, 05:50 PM

Atlanta Burst, the color can always be corrected.

chriswallace85 · 04-14-2011, 05:58 PM

The antiquity looks gorgeous. I think if it had the plate round the selector and the scratch plate so it was more of a straight comparison, it'd win hands down. Looks to have a finer, more subtle flame to it.

Mind, we could do with some more/better pictures with which to judge!

Toss up between Iced Tea and Antiquity! Both beautful!

jamman · 04-14-2011, 06:33 PM

The Antiquity. I think if you look at the furgure on that guitar at another angle, you'll
hve a hands down winner. The color is fine also. imo.

InfiniteeZ · 04-14-2011, 06:54 PM

The Atlanta Burst for me. That's a nice strong color it has, I dig it!

Les Zombie · 04-14-2011, 07:06 PM

Antiquity and then iced tea.

Nirvana33 · 04-14-2011, 08:13 PM

I dont like the dark spots around the selector and where the pickguard would go on the antiquity. Looks strange. Not many like that atlanta burst...its a little to colorful for me.

it is the closest to how an original burst would have looked when you bought it in the late 50's or 1960
