New 330 Blueburst for me!

Post by godber »

I don't normally go for blue guitars, but there have been so many pictures of Blueburst lookers published on this forum that I got lured in and had to buy one. It hasn't got much by way of "interesting" wood, but it surely is blue. I'm thankful for the warm rosewood neck to take the chill off and it sounds fantastic.

I love the way that the blue appears aqua tinged when it's thinly sprayed on the maple and builds up through cobalt and indigo. Sweet.

I blame you for this purchase - it was your 330 that turned my head. Just the four in the collection, 360-12 FG, 330MB, 330JG and now this. I was a late starter!

Your turn next Scott!
