Colour help please.

[Marty175]

Hello.
I'm trying to figure out what colour my guitar is. I bought this in around 2002-2003, off of a friend I served in the army with. He bought it in the fall of 1996 in New Minas Nova Scotia, Canada. It's a Czech made Les Paul Standard. I can't seem to find any colour charts, or really anything at all about it. I'm holding a white paper next to it to help with colou is much appreciated.

Not sure what colour this is. The white paper is for colour reference

Welcome to Epi-Talk. Your album might be set to "Private." I can't see the photo.

This page might help.

I remade the album. Can you see it now?

Also, I've seen that chart, but could not find the colour on it.

THAT is a nice plaintop ! That's what a Standard LP should look lile. Love it.

Color ? I'd say natural.

Take it outside to get a better color balanced picture. I think it's alittle too reddish (if I refer to the knobs).

Is it more like this ?

It actually seems like a little off colour. Kind of half way between pink and blue. There are a couple of colour faults in it that show blue. Here is one of them.

The knobs are normally a little reddish

The Bohemia Epis do have some 'special' specs, and I guess this means color, too
that's all we know about czech made Epis....

Umm brown? Looks alright, how's it play?

 

[Davis Sharp]

Umm brown?

Nah. Too obvious. Walnut?

 

[Marty175]

The picture I took is pretty close to it's colour. I assure you it isn't brown, or walnut

Smooth. Hands glide around nicely, good tone and sustain. I could probably clean it up a bit though.

 

[BGood]

Since there seem to be no info on that guitar, you get to name its color.

That's what it looks like on a couple different devices.

Excellent. A good clean ax is a happy ax.

AFAIK, no guitar finish is called Coffee. Go with that.

TWACOM (Tea With A Cloud Of Milk)

 

[Davis Sharp]

It's a trans-finish, so Tea-stained makes sense. Not sure about the TWACOM acronym though, sounds like a Taiwanese mobile phone operation.

Or, a military style acronym for a defunct airlines command center.......

Epiphone did some natural mahogany finishes. Not sure if this is that color, but if its a regular natural finish, it's very faded. Probably not the case though, or you would see the original color underneath the areas that are covered. Have you removed the pickups to see what color is in the cavities?

could be a heavy faded 'trans blue'

even some newer ones look similar...

Wow!
