Page 93 Burst

uburoibob · 07-28-2012, 09:18 AM

So, I am working away yesterday, when I get an email from Curt at the Great, Great House Of Guitars
(they are right here in my home town, Rochester, NY). He knows I am on the lookout for the ultimate LP.

It had these two photos. The first is a BotB page-93-Burst R9 and the second is a new Dark Factoryburst.
I'll be going down to check out both guitars later today. I'd be most interested in the P93 Burst, but at 8lbs 15 oz,
it may be a bit on the heavy side for me. Just gorgeous, though. Decisions, decisions.

Which do YOU like?

Take a look:

and here's the Dark Factoryburst:

CRobbins · 07-28-2012, 09:36 AM

That is a tough choice. Both tops look great. Go with the one that plays best.

alex.p · 07-28-2012, 09:41 AM

Those are two gorgeous tops...that darkburst though is just

ElectricMojo · 07-28-2012, 09:49 AM

The Factoryburst Darkburst is just perfect.

Rowdymoon · 07-28-2012, 09:57 AM

Playability first of course but looks wise I like the page..nicer graining...will darken a little more over time and correct me if I'm wrong the page may have slightly more re-sale factor should the need arise..over all tho looks wise I prefer the page..just My opinion of course...

Fiftywattmafia · 07-28-2012, 11:48 AM

P93

Wow what a flame and color!!!!

marcarco · 07-28-2012, 11:56 AM

8 lbs, heavy?!?! That guitar is a dream weight, it's light as can be for a les paul. Anything less and either it's chambered, or something ain't right.

Man both those guitars are absolutely stunnin, love them both, but I'd have to go with the Page. Just my personal preference on the burst.

Comanche · 07-28-2012, 11:59 AM

Comanche like first one. Got nice wood grain patterns.

8lbs 15 oz - that's pushing 9lbs...

Still WAY light for an early '90s.

Along that line, I vote...switch tip "on"!

Oh, and with regard to the guitars, I think that page 93 looks perfect!

fairlanericky · 07-28-2012, 12:44 PM

Screw it. Get both!!

It's a brand new one - page 93 of Beauty of the Burst!

I ended up with a case of HoneyDo, today. Honey do this. Honey do that. Didn't make it to the HOG. Will try to go tomorrow. Can't wait to try it!

pop · 07-28-2012, 03:21 PM

The P93 Burst does it for me. I love the wood grain on that top... very very nice. But I guess it's all about taste and personal preference

uburoibob · 07-28-2012, 03:23 PM

Also, is it my imagination, or are the rings and pickguard now much better, color-wise? Is it just the photo? They look, dare I say it, RIGHT!

Bob

Barker · 07-28-2012, 07:05 PM

That page 93 'burst is sweet!

"RIGHT", I wouldn't go that far...

. They do look better however...

mfolet · 07-30-2012, 06:16 AM

You are right on that one Bob.I took her for a spin on saturday.Great guitar.

kmrumedy · 07-30-2012, 11:13 AM

Really nice and you can't go wrong with either.

Just curious on the first pic why the bridge and pickups appear to be aged but the tailpiece is not?

RyanC · 07-30-2012, 11:51 AM

I LOVE the look of the p93 burst. It's funny... I've owned a few 50's LPs, a conversion, vintage MIJ copies and a couple high end replicas, but my ultimate LP has turned out to be my McInturff Carolina Custom. The hunt sure was fun though!!! Best of luck.

tspoon5150 · 07-30-2012, 11:53 AM

Nice guitar, what is up with the crusted up ABR and all the other parts are nice and glossy?

and here's the Dark Factoryburst:

First of all I would like if posers oooh i mean posters don't post big pictures... your guitar doesn't look any better... only shows your in need to inflate your ego....

the Page is overrated... the neck is too thin unless you have petite hands and like to paint your nails..

seriously? What the hell is the point of a post like this. Bob is a standup guy that asked a simple question.

BTW Page 93 Burst is not the Jimmy Page reissue it refers to the 59 in the Beauty of the Burst...so yeah the neck carve is actually probably like an R9

oh and Bob, you better buy that pg 93 LP before I do, that thing is HOT!

And yet you quoted them so there are twice as many now.

Dumbass!

JMJ · 07-30-2012, 06:06 PM

Are you ladies done rubbing his b a l l s????

Beauty of the burst? LMAO
everyone and their Grandma has the beauty of the burst... that isn't new..... Gibson can sell a can of urine and you'll drink it.. because its the beauty of the mojo and you idiots are nothing but "DREAMERS" chasing some fantasy you had a child......

You must like that clown burst ... i bet you work at Mcdonalds

Eric Duane · 07-30-2012, 06:32 PM

Tough decision, I'd go with page 93 though. I'm a huge fan of the darkburst but the flame on that 93 is killer. Of course tone and feel take precedence. Both look terrific and oh and for me I'd consider the price. If I could a couple hundo and liked both I'd try to. Great pics be sure to post NGD after you choose. Thanks for sharing my friend. And I prefer heavy guitars so the beauty take it. My 07 is 9lbs and 12 oz. Love the tone from the hondurian sounds great.
