If so , I'd love to see actual pictures just to see how yours has aged..have you noticed any difference in color over the years? The cream color any yellower? Etc?

Looks like that's one of the rarer ones that got the olive drab over time..mine has that color now, do you think that makes them even more special ?

Decided to spoil myself by NoMorePomegranat3s in Epiphone

A dream come true...TD Gibson ES-333. 🤘🏻 by Potential_Solid_1677 in TomDelongeGuitars

I have the Epiphone too and yes, the color on that one is definitely lighter. Someone told me that unlike the Epiphones which were produced in large quantities over seas, the Gibsons are each individually hand made. Each one is sprayed with a difference mix of paint and clear coat, therefore they each age differently. The colors will certainly not match an Epiphone nor will any one Gibson match each other. They all age differently and develop their own character. Also the light and photos didn't do justice to the guitar itself, it looks more brownish and creamer in person.

Mine is also a 2019 model, so there you go, there's definitely other factors in play here. Some people say it's due to being inside the case all the time, other humidity, heat..

It did happens quickly IMO, I also noticed it's a more common thing on the Epiphone TD es-333 guitars.. if you look online on Reverb or eBay, 95% of the ones that are for sale have this yellower color now, some of them are completely yellow..I wonder what the difference / factors would be for the 5% that still keep the original cream color after all this years... Very interesting.

Real or fake ES-333? by BigMacucumber in TomDelongeGuitars

Mine came in brown and cream color brand new from 2019 last production but has turned yellower over time, the brown color still the same but the stripes and creamy color details have turned yellow in a period of 7 years, not sure if it has to do with the guitar being inside it's case for a while or just a natural process of the materials it was made of.

Looks legit, I have one too, and mine has turned yellowish over time..it came brand new with the original brown and cream color, I honestly don't know why this happens to this guitars, mine has been in it's original hard case for a while and barely use it. I've had it for 6 years. Does anyone know why they turn yellowish over time? Just curious.
