A beauty. You should do the same with your 01 MIK Standard. I hate white plastic.

Don't believe it's a bourbon burst.... closest I have found is on this epi color chart
listed as 2003 Colors
Worn Brown ( WB ) or Worn Vintage Sunburst ( WS ) ?

The color 'Iced Tea Burst' and 'Bourbon Burst' did not exist in 01

pickup trim and poker chip is not as white as pic shows...actually more creamy.
Works well with aged pickup covers and hardware

I Love black trim when possible....
The red one in the pics above came stock with all black trim Except for a 'Silver' pickguard which was immediately replaced lol.
Looking at MIK LP \ Cat pic i posted above I can not envision black trim on that one
Appreciate the thought tho !

I figured, it might help him see the light.

Here's my before and (deblinged) after Ultra 1. Gold is all gone and I even went to the extent of getting rid of the plasticky shine. Feels real nice.

In that way, I think the de-bling and de-glossing is better. But there is just something about a good looking gloss.

I am not against a nice glossy guitar.

Though a ding or scratch can be catastrophic on it.

My Ultra was described as a rococco guitar by my wife when she saw it first. The only guitar she ever commented on. That stuck in my brain, so I had to tone it down. And I'm not big on gold hardware.
