Heritage Cherry. It's a very popular color on Gibson electric guitars. It's a translucent finish, used as the color for the backs of the bodies on maple-topped Les Pauls with either a Cherry Sunburst finish, an Iced Tea sunburst finish, a Lemon Burst finish or a Tangerine Burst finish — this includes some Custom Shop models.

It's also used on SGs, and on ES-335s, albeit that it looks much brighter on a 335 due to it being mostly made of laminated maple.

I agree that really sucks. Life sucks that way. I've been doing remodeling on my house...I have done a lot of the nit picky things myself and inevitably the stupidest annoying things happen. As an example it took me 3 days, new wood and drywall to replace a toilet paper holder. Of course, I had to initially destroy a 1 foot square of wall, by accident of course.

I know, I know, it's not like damaging a Les Paul but it still sucked.

Cool, those guitars are cool looking (though I would never buy one for myself ...

)

Did you get your baby healed up?

Hell, no. It's a luthier's job, which is going to be very expensive, and there are no luthiers anywhere near where I live. They all live quite a distance away, and at difficult-to-reach places, like in the heart of a big city.

I don't know whether I'll ever get around to having it fixed.
