MELIBEE'S KIDDEES

I like Bono's cadillac-green, Gretsch "Irish Falcon", which is, basically, a White Falcon, with a pick-guard that says "The Goal Is Soul". Bono SHOULD play a green guitar, it has an Elvis sort of vibe that fits the grandeur of the man. That's about it, as far as green guitars go ...

How many days (and hours, and minutes, LOL!) now, Paul?

So... will it be green, huh?

Wait and see, Sheena, wait and see! It won't be much longer now....

Aaaaaack.... What am I saying? Every minute feels like an hour, and every hour feels like a day at this point....

What color are my dreams? Not that I'd want to mislead anyone, LOL!

I was right !! Hopefully he can out-do Ric on this one. I have seen some BBR's that were luscious and beautiful, and some that were rather drab looking - not enough blue. I say add lots of blue !!

Don't be so sure, Steve!

I'll say it again: Wait and see!

But it's not pink indeed?

Definitely NOT pink!

I'm not doing anything to outdo Rickenbacker. In fact, if I can equal them, it's a great day. I use their standards as the touchstone for my own.

Definitely not pink, definitely not green.

What a huge difference.

Hee-hee; wait and see, LOL!

When i hear something like "What color are my dreams?", i always imagine something snow white... or golden...

Ummmmmmmmm....not exactly! I think you will be surprised!

However, I do think a 360 would look really cool in pearlescent white, with pearly-type or gold pickguards.... But this will not be that, for sure!

Re the Blue Burst- I bet if you had these side by side you couldn't tell the difference. The cameras, lighting, and/or digital processing used were obviously quite different.

I always wonder, but which one more accurately depicts what it looks like in person ? I have never seen a bad-looking Ric, so I usually don't trust photos that make them look anything less than spectacular !
