Gretsch made a Jumbo acoustic/electric with a single-coil at the neck a la Gibson J185/200, gold and abalone trim, candy red body, and a gold Bigsby B5.

This was back in '99 or so. Colossally ugly.

We gotta get you a color, George.

I saw a Brian Adams album cover where he was using (I think) a Gibson Jumbo with a Bigsby. I thought it looked pretty cool.

George, two words - BLUE BOY!

I remember the Brian Adams acoustics with Bigsbys. I think he had a 6 and a 12 like that.

Makes me want to pick up a beater 620/12 and try it out myself, as I've been considering for about, oh, ten years now. Plus, I have to one-up Biscuti. Always. Northern scum. Image

Yeah! I got a 2-pickup, 21-fret 360 in Jetglo, you had to go and get a three pickup 21 fret 370/12 in Jetglo!

You don't scare me.

Back to the color, is "Tealburst" different than "Aquaglo"?

If it wasn't, I'd call it "Aquaglo".
