What Do We Think of White Lea Paul Customs?

[Peen Simmons]

Aesthetically. I mean, I recognize that gold hardware is heresy and that these guitars are gaudy monuments to ill-conceived opulence, but I’ve begun to think they look sexy. Am I having a stroke?

I like them but I don’t understand why they cost $300 more than black.

They're reminiscent of a white falcon. Appropriate in the same settings a white tuxedo would fit. Sexy, but silly.

White LP can be done without the gold hardware, and it looks pretty good.

My Studio is less flashy, though.

I've always liked em. I had an Epi version back in the 90s.

Supposedly, on high end guitars at least, where perfection is expected, the factory has to totally clean the spraying rooms and spray the white guitars in batches, or have a separate spraying booth only for white guitars. There can be no contaminants from other colors floating around.

300 bucks each seems a bit steep though, but hey..... It's authentic!....

I've had friends with them and IRL they look great

I dunno...they always looked good on Lindsay Buckingham and Randy Rhodes...

Oh yeah, as to the question of this thread: Yes, would with vigor although Fuqagibson and so.

I dig em...not as much as black, but far far better than that awful wine red. For once in your life, believe in a thing called love and buy it!!

I've always liked them, despite the gold hardware hate. It's like wearing a tuxedo shirt to a wedding.

I like white LP Customs. I think the black plastic makes it pop. I do prefer chrome hardware, but gold is not the end of the world.

My white 50’s Tribute LP looks plain by comparison. It came with tan plastic that I swapped out for black. I do love the weight (7.6 lbs).
