White Customs are COOL!!

[OBX351]

I believe you're right. I thought the pigments also faded some too but I could be wrong.

 

[crazytrain513]

I think it is actually the nitro that turns???

I al looking forward to that white sparkle thread.....

Don't rush the yellowing 513, I don't know if the sparkle will end up as cool as the "flatter" white colors.....let the girl shine, man!!

Guitar coming in early next week HT! I'll definitely keep you all posted!

And you're right. The sparkle looks obvious and invisible, depending on the light. I'm very interested to see it in person! I'll make my decision about whether it gets exposed to lots of sunlight and oxygen then

Let me join the party, and resurrect this thread

 

[PierM]

Holy shit that ivory with zebra won the entire thread!!!!

 

[jestremera]

I like white customs but not enough to even think about buying one. Now black customs...........

Totally agree. If I was getting white, I'd prefer to get an old used one that's slightly yellowed. That aside, ebony LPC's are far and away my favs

 

[OBX351]

Still dead sexy 10 years later!! Bought, sold and bought again, the guy I sold it to knew I was going to buy it back and to his credit sold it to me for what he paid for it!! This guitar LOVES to be played and has spot on "The Girl I Love She Got Long Black Wavy Hair" tone.

It's time for me to jump into this...this is my 1974-75 Custom, which I've turned into a clone of my fave all-time LPC. Can you guess which one that is?:

 

[Midnight Blues]

OK,, so I don't have one, but a guy can dream can't he?

 

[Overture]

Geez, didn’t know this thread even existed…

Here’s mine. 2020 custom, BKP Miracle Man pickups, brass switch tip and TR cover

 

[OBX351]

Adding a few more rockers to the thread:

Erik Turner of Warrant

Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac

early Fleetwood

 

[decoy205]

LPCs are one of the best looking guitars ever made which is why they still make them and sell a crap ton of them. I love my ebony but I would love a white one or tobacco or natural or silver burst…

 

[JAMESAK51]

As close as I'll ever come. My 2012 classic custom in creme.

 

[AJK1]

Mine, about 6 mths old
Amos aged gold pickups replaced the 490/498 pair
Big improvement in tone
These guitars ooze coolness, everyone who finds out I have one just gushes and says how fantastic it is
They have mojo in spades

 

[Slashperryburst]

Probably the crown jewel of my collection.

Wow, nice!!

Probably the crown jewel of my collection.

Nice guitars, but what’s with the picks ?

 

[Slashperryburst]

Nice guitars, but what’s with the picks ?

What's wrong with it? Open a guitar case in my house and you'll find a pick in the same place. I also have a box of picks on top of my amp and another that I stick in the case compartment of a guitar before going to out rehearsals/a gig.

 

[GrandJunction]

My 'Dream Guitar' is a Gibson 3-pickup Black Beauty . . . but the white's are no sluch either . . . .

 

[AJK1]

If anyone here is interested,
the first Manic Street Preachers album ‘Generation Terrorists’ is all White Gibson LP Custom through Marshall’s
Amazing tone, amazing album

 

[craigeymac]

Heres mine

My 87 Custom 'Barry'

And here's why i got it, the coolest LP Custom in my opinion.

Richie Faulkners 74 he calls 'Marilyn'
