neilpanda Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Monster Days at Long & McQuade are back, and looking around the store, I came across this beautiful Limited edition Squier Classic Vibe 50's Strat in White Blonde. I've been a fan of the classic vibe serious for some time, but none of the finishes ever really fancied me. This one IMO looks a lot prettier and more elegant than the other finishes... So I went ahead and bought myself a late birthday present, I'm pretty happy with it... ...but my wallet hurts After playing it for a good couple of hours, I remembered that taking pictures was a big part of New Guitar Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I've never heard of White Blonde before. Nice colour! A bit like the 'Mary Kaye' but a wee bit darker? Good Score! P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I've never heard of White Blonde before. Nice colour! A bit like the 'Mary Kaye' but a wee bit darker? P. If'n I remember correctly several conversations with Forrest White that appeared in some magazines just prior to his demise, the original white blonde was an epic fail, as were a lot of their(his) early attempts at colors. Mary Kaye became the name of both the final attempt at a white blonde and the trim that went with it. Too much...something in the wash for the original white blonde on ash. A similar idea for gold on mahogany greening up, the white blondes went a bit, uh, nutsack-y in tone after only a short time. When you see 55 Esquire re-fin over and over and over and over again, the re-fin is probably a favor! At the visitor center they have a pitchuh of Forrest and Leo hanging around in front of a big stainless vat of something, Leo looking his usual amused by everything around him and Forrest pointing into the vat. It is, it turned out, a vat of the attempted white blonde wash that was well on it's way to becoming another yambag colored ash guitar. That is my recollection. I don't think the Smith book about Leo went to into the painting stuff that mostly Forrest wanted to do. Forrests' book only goes a little. Lots of misses when they were first doing that. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
