What's your opinion of the White custom over the black.

[Alex W]

I voted black. Mick Jones of the Clash couldn't make up his mind:

Mick and Steve Jones, Izzy, Brad Avery, John Sykes, Randy, Mike Ness.

I voted black because that was my first love. But I love and own both. Both Epis, an Elitist in Black and a Limited Edition in Aged White.

 

[st.bede]

personally I would take white because I have enough black guitars and I find them to look a bit boring...

imagery to utilize for an decision:

white is all color radiating out in its' purest form...

where as, black is the void that gives birth to the note itself...

 

[Scooter2112]

Without a doubt....for me, I like the White Customs better.

I have a '95 Alpine White Studio that has yellowed very nicely.

 

[Leiste]

Black is. . . well, yeah: BEAUTIFULLY UGLY!!! It's raw'n'bitchin' and dirty! I LOVE IT!

 

[Raidersfan]

They both look great, but I'd definitely take a white one over black.

O ordered my dream custom(axcess) last year and it wasn't even a thought of white. Actually, it was black, gold or wine red. I do like the look of an aged white/cream LP though.

I prefer the white over the black. I've never been much for black guitars. Every fingerprint & smudge shows on black.

 

[SixAngryStrings]

They are both the Kitties Chi-Chi's... But I gotta go with Black!!!

 

[bluesguitar1972]

...white can look pretty good on a LP - I'd take this Custom Shop '57 home anytime:

p.s.: I voted "black" - Customs have to be black...

I do not like white LP's.......... and yet, this a beaut. The natural back really balances the white top. Really nice...

 

[87Standard]

Fixed

when it comes to les pauls...

Ebony > burst > goldtop > wine > granny pink > geckoburst puke green > white.

If that answers your question.

White looks good... On a strat. Not on a les paul.

 

[87Standard]

OH YEAH!

did any Customs come stock like this or did people just swap out for cream plastics and PG?

I'd be all over that like a cheap suit at that price , I'd have the covers off it ala Robertson for the look . His was a 73 i recall ? Well cool

Just noted the Khaler , that would put me off a bit

Put some gold speed knobs on that baby and it'll be perfect
