In praise of The New Originals!

[Wise Guy]

Was loving the bourbon but a month or two. later traded it for this super sweet Iced Tea Burst that was much lighter in weight...
--------------------------------------------------------

I had such a tough time deciding whether to get the bourbon or the ice tea finish. I went back and forth for several days...

Then a few weeks later, I saw a member's classified ad (thanks again @integra evan!) that had just been posted on MLP that listed an Unburst (everyone's already seen tons of) for an incredible price so I jumped at it. Best guitar I've ever owned (sorry '12 av64 lpb!) and still amazes me daily.

Being so impressed with the New Collection models I'd had, I decided to trade the Iced Tea Burst for a 50s Standard HCB since I had a 60s standard that was aces.

My Originals, two Epiphones and a Gibson.

From left to right, Epiphone Standard '60s in bourbon burst, Gibson Standard '50s in bourbon burst, and Epiphone Standard '50s in heritage sunburst. The Gibson is an Exclusive with an AAA top, I've only seen them online at zZounds and AMS. The amp btw is a Rocker 15.

That one is just crying out for a set of double-creams.

2022 Les Paul 60s Iced Tea burst. I bought this from Wildwood.

I bought a 60's Standard back in 2021. I hope you have as much fun with yours as I have had with mine. You got yourself a real beauitful guitar.
