I have a 71 LP Custom, and I just love the sound. The previous owner had the guitar refinished in a perloid white, with raised binding. I want to return the guitar to its original color. Gibson has told me that the 71 only came in ebony or sunburst. Can somebody confirm this? I was going to send it to the custom Shop, and have them do the work, but it would take a year or more to get it back. Everything is original, except the paint job. Can someone shed some light on the refinishing aspects of restoring this guitar?

Thanks to All
