Hi everyone,

I’m trying to find a Les Paul with this specific figuring, and it seems difficult to find. I’m not a fan of the plain top look and I’m not a fan of the typical tiger striping, but I love this look. These pictures are of a Tokai on reverb right now, and Bonnamassa’s snakebite. Dying to find a Lester like this and don’t know how to search for it.
Thanks in advance!B17D91E9-FA60-44A1-9806-66D14F9DA799.png

That "burnt sugar" kind of finish reminds me of # 9 1970, an ex Pretenders 'Burst that belonged to Johnny Marr when I was lucky enough to get a close up look.

It changed appearance at every single angle I looked at it from.

An extraordinarily beautiful finish.
