I'm finding myself looking at a ton of Standard 24's lately. Who's got one? What's the "best" color? May I see yours?
Erm blue! Do you know who @sergiodeblanc is.Mine is the SE Translucent blue and it is sensational. Bluer than blue. Blue is the best color to have in this model. Also, mine was on a long loan to my nephew and I got it back Christmas Day. He loved it. I am delighted to be reunited with it again, really. To keep the theme going I gave him a Gibson Les Paul to try. It has a neck so fat you would not believe - haha. If he masters that everything else will be a breeze
Sorry, all I’ve got is a carmel coloured quilt.

You even need to ask!? Banana Yellow from '85 or '86. Good luck - I think they made around 8. Nope never seen one either other than in photos. Failing that Pearl White.What's the "best" color?

Here you go - best colour IMO.
I like my no BS black satin... but this one is hard to beat.
You're in luck! I just looked and GP Guitars reckoned they made around 11, not 8...I still hate myself for not buying tabl10's yellow Standard 24 a few years ago.
Satin black is stunning too - I should know - but there is just something about seeing those natural lines in the wood that makes this finish edge out the black. Ironically enough, I really wanted one in Vintage Cherry, but I could not find one and “settled” for this colour. My opinion changed pretty quickly once I opened the case for the first time...
