Which Color Les Paul guitar would you get?

Is that the wine red? I would love the Gibson version of course but can't justify the cash for it right now.
 
No contest, Cherry Sunburst. I heard that guitars with blemishes in the grain, and poor bookmatching, get painted black to hide the defects. Of course the sound won't be compromised, but there's a reason for the premium you pay for that beautiful sunburst finish.

That make some sense now. It appears the black one is listed like $100 cheaper than any of the burst colors or transparent ones. I assumed b/c painting it took more time/energy but it could also have to do with the fact that they need nice wood grain to do the burst colors. Makes me hesistant to buy a brand new one off ebay though. I'd only buy one if there is a picture of the exact guitar not just a "sample" pic.
 
Light honey burst 1960 reissue (or for a fantasy, the 1958 reissue, but much like a Ferarri, I will never own one). Add a couple of Burstbucker II and III pickups on it and ooooh man 🙂
