PickyPick Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I recently found out what the name of a certain shade of blue was, it was Pelham blue, but by the time i realized the color existed and i figured out what it was called, it seemed every single guitar company so far i checked has deserted that color and is no longer available on "standard" guitars. I know Gibson has a Pelham Blue SG from the custom shop but thats too steep for me. Anyway did Pelham Blue every make its way into the Epiphone G-400, with a Vibrola?

Supersonic Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 They have 'em in the UK, but I don't know about the US. I haven't seen any here. http://www.dawsons.co.uk/epiphone-limited-edition-sg-maestro-pelham-blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaj Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 From a quick search it seems that most Epi G-400 in Pelham Blue went to the UK. But there's one on Ebay now in the US: ebay listing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 My dealer (E.M. Shorts) has a couple of Pelham Blue Epi "Dots" in stock. Apparently, it took awhile to get them, after the orders were placed. I didn't even know Dot's were available, in that color. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vomer Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 PickyPick, I posted in an earlier thread about that Pelham Blue SG in Dawsons that Supersonic linked to. It's a much, much nicer colour than in the pic. Quite chunky neck though, I didn't get on with it. Great looking guitar though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not, I've bought more guitars through them than anyone else. Jon knows about my history. :) Tell him Heath says "hi" next time you talk to them (and that if Big-G does a PROPER reissue I'll be in touch...of course I'm also looking at those new '61 Tribute SG Specials Epi's doing. They look fab). Coincidentally, I lucked out and found one of the rare Pelham Blue Epi SG's with Maestro, and it's the envy of many of my cohorts. Quite a stunner. :) H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got her at the small guitar chain here in Michigan. Marshall Music Store. They have another in the Allen park, mi store at this moment. I love this guitar. The pelham blue and all the chrome and the Maestro It is definitely a keeper. I did do a few upgrades. i put a bone nut on along with upgrading the electronics and put in some parson street humbuckers (alnico 5) from www.stewmac.com what a major improvement in sustain. And the pups from stemac are awesome!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Okay, I think I am now in love with the Pelham Blue G400 with Maestro trem. The color is perfect for the guitar. If I ever run across one around where I live, I might even consider swapping my black and gold G400 with Maestro for one (Shhhhhhh, don't tell her).

PickyPick Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 Ive been looking hard for one but i think the journey is about to come to an end... i might as well just buy a G 400 and play with it and stuff learn to repaint, add the maestro etc... If i cant find what i seek then i shall make it then perfect it! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
