charlie brown Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Man, charlie brown, you have been posting one great photo after another. Beautiful stuff. That JetGlo Ric with the gold plastic is very nice. And I know what you mean by modding the guitar with the gold just to be different. I went MidnightBlue for my 330 -- just to be different -- and then I added the gold plastic to be even more different. It is a unique look that you really do not see much of. Great looking combination, Taxman! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Black Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Actually ,any color as long as it is transparent so I can see the Wood if it is a SG or a G400 the Bevels have to be right but Tone and play ability come first . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice SG, mate! In general I also prefer transparent finishes, so the manufacturer has to be more honest with the timbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Zeplin Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I bought this 2011 Casino mainly because of the colour since I love black guitars. I didn't need a Casino but I always liked them and the price and timing was right so I pulled the trigger, traded a black 2006 Gibson LP Faded Special that didn't get much play after I got my SG. This was my first Les Paul, 2000 Classic Quilt-top. Had a strat for 15 years as my only guitar and wanted something new and decided on this LP. It plays nice and was very well made and the amber quilt with black hardware caught my eye. I gave it to my brother about 10 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Whoa, cool guitar. I've never seen a black Casino before. Didn't even know they made them. Very cool and different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dReit1 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I can't say that I ever bought one because of it's color. Maybe. But I do know I HAVEN'Tbought guitars because of their color! Just can't abide green guitars. I don't know why, they just don't look right to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockabillybob Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Oh yes. I love the two tone green Gretsch Anniversary. I didn't like the Filtertron pickups, so, I sold it. I just had to have some gold sparkle in my collection. I also love the DeArmond 2000 pickups of my Gretsch G-5128. Keeper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truetone6 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I bought my Coral Pink Nocaster and Metallic Blue Slasher because I like the colors. It's what attracted me to them.I wasn't looking to buy another guitar when I saw them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Marlowe Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I bought my Epi SG Special because it had the things I wanted, like a bound, dot neck, P90 pickups, and a stop tail bridge. I got in TV Yellow because that's the color I really wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Zeplin Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Let's face it. Look are important. We all post pictures of our guitars and people ooh and ahh over them so how a guitar looks is important to us all in various degrees. I prefer to wait and find a guitar that works for me in all aspects; feel, tone, playability and looks. I happen to like black guitars so I do tend to lean that way. Why would anyone buy five of the same guitar in different colours if looks didn't matter? There can't be that much difference in the other factors from one to the other.

MaceWindu57 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 That looks an awful lot like Antique Sunburst which I like very much. I'd like to get an Emperor Regent in that shade. I have this ES-335 Limited PRO I just purchased last week, and I'm a total newbie. I knew this was the best color, and the ES-335 I heard is the sound I want to play.

Gaolee Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I like burst or red, or sometimes sparkly metallic great, so long as the green is not too tasetful. I don't like black or natural guitars very much. It makes me a bit of an outlier, but that's nothing new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze_McClure Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 In terms of colour I always wanted non-solid colour guitars. In particular I never wanted solid white guitars, never ever. Course, I now have 3.5 white guitars, but at least the Epi Swingster is sparkley white..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barcham Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I only knew that there was one color that I never wanted to buy and that was a goldtop LP. Every one I had seen were tacky gold flake that were just too gaudy for my taste. Then.... this came along... I picked it up and fell in love at first site.

stein Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Pink Paisley Strat. You KNOW that was only for the color. Don't say "pics or it didn't happen" I'd as soon it didn't. It's enough I even told you. Truthfully, I don't know how to do pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabar Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I didn't buy my Gretsch 5420T JUST for the color, but none of the other colors I'd seen that model available in did anything for me. It also has a great action and feel, and a really distinctive tone, but I gotta admit, the color is what sealed the deal for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeko Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 This one caught my eye. Of course I bought it because it played fantastic as well. But I do love this particular sunburst. Nice wide dark outside . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Actually, come to think of it, I DID purchase this particular guitar, because of it's "Color!"
