Question True gold color question

[Rbg]

I am considering getting my L2 refinished in true gold. Do we know if it’s a candy over gold/silver base or if it is just a gold pearl paint? Do we have someone here who owns an in street on that color and who would be willing to take a couple of pictures in good quality with different lightings? I would really appreciate it.

I have an L2 in True Gold. It's an unusual color - more like Orange/Amber than typical golds. Here it is compared to other Music Man golds, Saturn Gold and Ghostwood, and finally next to the closest match I have, which is an Anderson in Sparkle Amber...

Apart from being great to look at, they are very helpful as well!

Take a look at House of Kolor. I think the color/paint EBMM chose for that guitar came from there. Kolors - House Of Kolor

Wow, that JP looks fabulous.

Morses too!

They all look great, I wish I could figure out if it was a candy or regular pearl paint

I forgot(!) I also have a Petrucci in Firemist Gold, so here it is next to the True Gold Luke for comparison, along with a closeup of the upper horn as requested. All taken in natural light - no flash or overhead lights.

Thanks, but it's just a dining table near a window - nothing fancy! I think it helps that the guitars themselves are stunning.
