Andy Winter/Maurice Gibb, probably :lol:

Seriously, though, Gibb's the first one who springs to mind for me.

The thought never crossed my mind Jake...:wink:

Great colors all of them, and I'm sure the SG will be very coveted, unlike the first run 10 years ago. Can't wait to see them all...

The backlog is still about 18 months overall, with bread and butter items in the 9 month range; very little change really, although there's many more export orders inhouse than before.

A few color changes like this doesn't slow us down and beside, we need a little break in routine sometimes.
Well, it would appear that there is the possibility of a dealer being able to order a number of instruments in custom colors. So, perhaps if a bunch of us got together and put in orders for something a bit special, when enough were ordered, it just might happen...

Very cool colors indeed!
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Personally, I hate this color, and the reverse headstock. Both would be a deal breaker for me. It's nice know that there is some love for these. I hope you guys enjoy them. For a model that is supposedly canceled it has taken a long time to get to the end of production.

Well, as it happens there's another order in house for 75 instruments covering 3 models in a special color. In the past our production system would be clobbered up making guitars with any type of special appointments, but at least as far as colors are concerned, our scheduling process and systems are now more flexible.

I do need to point out that all of these colors are unique. They are NOT replicas of any previous colors and are not intended to be.

John, does that mean that this version of "Sea Green" is not the same as the 2000 COY? From the pictures on POTR's site, it appears to be a lighter shade. If that's the case is the new colour officially being referred to as "Sea Green" or does it have a different name?
