How would a nice duck egg blue go Howard? What is it about green that affects your gills?

I have similar sentiments to Paul, Ron. Green's OK when it's grass or trees, but guitars? I've yet to see a 'greenie' that makes me want to find out more. In fact, it turns me off... as does Bob Brown....

You still looking for that elusive Ibanez, BTW? Was it 'Artist' series or 'Artcore'? Eastgate has 2 or 3 nice Artcores in stock at the moment. Played one last week - nice! Bit fat in the body for me, though.....

Artcores (strange moniker, eh?) are really nice value for money, at least here in the States, where average GC price is just a shade over $300.00. But they have an odd green and blue too.

Why is it that I like BB but don't care for the Artcore Transparent blue on their 335 clones? Must ask my shrink...Oh, Mom!!!

They start here at around $750, Paul. And as you say, the colours are 'interesting':

... 'turquoise'

... 'transparent blue'
Image
... 'burst blue'

Don't like none of 'em! Pardon the 'blues' set, folks... now back to green...

Wow... 8-) A superb look, Andrew - kind of like malachite, or is it jade?
Do you play it - i've noticed your beauty doesn't wear strings, or am i wrong?

Is that Turquoise or AZ?

It's too pretty to be green, whatever it is.

Turquoise is always beautiful! Image

My 325 actually looks more green than turquoise, although in pictures it looks much bluer than it does in hand....

I'd post a pic, but I'm away from my home computer right now, LOL!

I can't believe you don't carry 'spares' on the laptop, Melibee!! Seriously limits your ability to brag, IMO......
