Special 75th Anniversary guitar?

What was I thinking? Of course a 75th anniversary is represented by diamond. That is something that probably could not be replicated even if you wanted to. Anyway and more importantly to me, I'll patiently wait to see what's in store. I am sure that it will be something very special.

Maybe the GUITAR is shaped like a diamond....

Just kidding...

Maybe the inlays are "crushed diamond"

"It's the color of your skin - Your skin is black metallic..."

Can anyone name the band? (and no Googling allowed!)

That song was the first thing I thought of when the Black Metallic reference showed up..

Oh...I thought it was that soul metal group, Black Metallica...

I remember some NME wag saying that Catherine Wheel sounded like a "second division House of Love". Now no one knows who either of them are/were. However, neither of them used Rics, and neither of them knows a thing about the special colour, so onward and upward I say.

I'm grasping at straws now. I say it's silver. With flecks of tortoise shell. And cherry.

Har.

My wife just asked me if the correct guess gets a FREE guitar OR, at the very least, a chance to purchase #1?

I like the way she thinks.....but after responding "NO", she asked "then why are you spending SO much time on the forum?"...

She just doesn't understand.

She's a good girl Tony. I think she understands perfectly! In some regards, they all do. Once I told my wife about a post and I must have started it like..."this guy on the forum..." She promptly responded "this one time, at band camp..." You gotta love the women.
