4001V63FG makes appearence on SW Airlines commercial

Post by rickaddict »

Hey Peeps!

I flipped on the tube for a few minutes tonight and immediately was treated to this commercial:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EtLQCQb3wI

It features a later (1998-2002) 4001V63FG with a fake (paper?) TRC and two holes in the pickguard where a tug bar used to be. Did/does it belong to anyone here?

Gotta love how Youtube makes you watch a commercial in order to see a commercial, BTW...

Looks like ALL the guitars logos were blacked out, not sure why they'd have to do that....
But I think that IS my old '97 4001v63 FG, it looks quite close to it... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Even the Marshall logo has been hidden by CGI. Usually a piece of gaff tape would suffice!

Publicity for the guitar manufacturers: creators are slowly but quite surely more and more starting to realize if they give the milk away, no one will buy the cow.

They may have also decided to hide logos and names since things like that distract an average viewer's focus.
