Gibson Les Paul Traditional 2012. What Colour is it tho?

What colour is this Les Paul? We got this guitar from a dealer who described the colour as Honey Burst. It is a beautiful guitar and we don't actually mind what the official colour is, but we're not sure that it actually is Honey Burst. In the next video we'll remove the neck pickup and hopefully be able to reveal its official colour. Until then write down in the comments below what colour you think it is and why.
Its a 2012 Les Paul Traditional. We believe the colours available at that time were Honey Burst, Desert Burst and Tobacco Burst. We could be wrong and we're not Les Paul experts by any means. So let us know in the comments what you think.

I had a 2009 Traditional that was brown or Desert burst aka Tobacco Burst as it was back in the day with the "Oxblood" solid color on the back. That cheapened the guitar for me as any of the red burst Trads had clear stained finishes on the back. Don't know why as the few Standards you see that were brown had a proper brown clear stained back. Yours is a weird color as there is a hint of red between the brown and amber colors. Maybe thats what they call it Desert Burst even though most have no red at all, just amber fading to brown. Yousr is weird but nice and rare so hang onto it. Btw, a Honey Burst is just straight yellow with little or no fade, no red or brown, maybe a slight hint of orange on the edges maybe. I would call yours Bourbonburst due to the hint of red.

[@realtruenorth]

The colors are difficult with Gibson because one looks different than another and the pics don't always look like real life.

[@clintlackey9475]

[@dealfaror]

Man, if you were paid a pound each time you say the word "burst", you'd be a millionaire :)
