What about BRICK RED?

Hey, I like it!... what color is "champagne"? ... sort of like a light gold?

Yep, a light gold. I suppose I could Photoshop up this one, but the Photoshop of my mind tells me it would be less beautiful than it sounds.

I have thought of a name for it, though:

Smogglo.

Or was he in the Lord of the Rings? Wrinkly, about 37" tall?

Orange and black - trickortreatglo.

Champagne plastic would be opaque, non-metallic. Imagine cottage lights lit warmly from within on a dusky winter's night.

Oh, I get it...light show pickguards!

A new trend is born!

Purpleburst.

I think the only color pickguard for Smogglo is Black.... or maybe Mr Hall would take the idea more seriously if it was called London-glo (as in foggy old London, get it?.... ugh... sorry, I hven't had any coffee yet this morning and I'm all out)

How about green-to-blue-burst, or vice-versa?

There was some talk on another thread about Guinness-a nice colour might be that of a Guiness pint - tan with black trim (or vice-versa)?

Gets my vote (third behind Autumnglo and Monty Brown)!

Yup, a Guiness-glo..... Black with tan binding and gold pickguards + TRC. Mr Hall can put me down for a 21-fret 360/6 Guiness-glo.

I like the idea of the Guinness-glo with gold pickguards and TRC. How about a subtle metal-flake in the black finish to give it a little character?

I'll up for a Guinness anytime! I guess no jokes about more sustain and a longlasting "head"...must be a guy thing.
