wiggy Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Yep - How could I resist? Not the guitar per se but bought the body because of the colour it was going to be when it was finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke17 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Reasonable facsimile of my very first electric...Christmas present 1963...Sears Silvertone by Danolectro.It is actually made in 1959 but was on the shelf at our local Sears in 63. (NOS?) Was going to go for a Harmony Meteor but there was a strip joint in town that had a House Band called 'Coppertone Review'We used to sneak in the back room and watch and listen til they kicked us out...The Guitarist wailed on this guitar and I just had to have one....fell i love with that color and body style (1300).I was 14 at the time.Have a Jimi album with a photo of him playing one upside down. These guitars and Silvertone amps are fetching some outrageous prices now.This was my first amp, bought a few months later for my birthday...amp was pretty powerful for it's size....people are snatching them up for the studio, comparable ( so they say) to the old Fender Champs. If I find a decent 1300 I will pick it up partly because of nostalgia and partially because it was/is a great sounding guitar...loved that lipstick PU.

Dennis G Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I'm in Clarkuss camp in that I've never bought a guitar because of it's color, but each guitar I bought I wanted in a particular color. That said, that Green Gretsch Annie is IMHO one of the best looking guitars ever made and I'd buy one in a heartbeat just for the color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djp141 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Big Larry Carlton fan, so when the ES 335 Pro's came out, I promised myself I would buy one in the iced tea color. It took a year for one to pop up on Ebay, but I got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3pu Custom Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I have owned several gold tops over the years . . . the guitars are great, but the color is what makes them extra cool.
