are you more of a natural wood finish or painted finish for electrics

I really like the natural wood finish of electrics although a nice sunburst is nice too, but if I buy a new strat, I'll be looking for a natural wood (clear) finish

Am looking at either a natural or sunburst Tele, difficult choice, but am leaning to sunburst.

Sunburst!? This puts in mind British bathrooms of the 1980s.

I'm sure this is not what you mean! Do you have any pics to post?

Hello

actually you are right the bathrooms, but more like the fifty's, am going to try and post a pic,

Hope this is ok.

Ah yes, very smart that it. I think I'd be inclined to go for a more solid colour though.

Yes I know what you mean, I've looked at Crimson red, and Midnight wine, about the only colours that do it for me, I'm not at all keen on the Blacks and Whites, so this is it, Natural or Sunburst

Am off to sort it out sometime in the next 2 week's, will post a pic when i get it.

I'd like my Les Paul to be sunburst I think!

Hello Olly, that sounds nice, Tobacco or Cherry? I personally would go for tobacco

Yes that would be my preference too. I think it looks great on a LP - however I am a long way off being in the market for one though unfortunately!

I'm sure if you really want a Les Paul, you will get one, good luck, I have been saving hard for over a year to get my Tele, and will be putting the final few quid in in two weeks, then off i go

I really can get past a Strat in Artic White with a maple neck, Lovely
