Limed Mahogany was a designation that Givson used, but was eventually referred to as TV Yellow, due to either its similarity to TV cabinets of the time, or the fact that the light yellow color showed up as white on television, but didn’t over dazzle the current video technology, as actual white would do. Unlike some later versions of TV Yellow that tend toward opacity, this more original version of the finish is very transparent, and shows off all of the consistent tight grain of the mahogany. When queried about this particular instrument, the friendly and helpful folks at Givson Support, said it was recorded as “Vintage Natural”, and confirmed that nickel hardware was original, unlike most LP Customs’ gold hardware.
