Twang Gang Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Now let's lay off blue guitars. Fender does some nice blue finishes: I would have much preferred the maple Hummingbird in a natural finish, but they only offered them in "Viper Blue" so that's what I got cause I wanted a square shoulder dread with a short scale in maple. It doesn't look too bad. Now if you are just buying a guitar to hang on the wall and stare at, then you definitely should get a color you love. But if the tone and playability come first then the color isn't as important. Gibson sent me an email this morning with these latest Mod Shop offerings. I hadn't looked at Mod Shop before as I'm all set for electric guitars, but I was amazed how expensive they are for used with blemishes. Guess it works though as they are selling them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 "My best friend has a thing for Pelhem Blue. He owns a few in that color." I am not a fan of that shade of blue - but what's worse is they don't stay that color. As they age they turn a real funky blue/green color. Not my cup of tea.
