There was some talk on another thread about Guinness-a nice colour might be that of a Guiness pint - tan with black trim (or vice-versa)?

Yup, a Guiness-glo..... Black with tan binding and gold pickguards + TRC. Mr Hall can put me down for a 21-fret 360/6 Guiness-glo.

I like the idea of the Guinness-glo with gold pickguards and TRC. How about a subtle metal-flake in the black finish to give it a little character?

I'll up for a Guinness anytime! I guess no jokes about more sustain and a longlasting "head"...must be a guy thing.

No more bluebursts for a good long while imho. Guinessglo (hic!) would be righteous. Satin finish, brown on the outside, blonde in the middle. Nice idea, Stubby. Yep.

There are so many great colors they could use...

Pine Green
Aegean Blue
French Ultramarine
Rose
Naples Yellow
Copper
Cherry Red
Candy Apple Green
Coral
Orangesicle
Chocolate Brown
etc

I hope they pick something unusual.

(... and bring back Monte Brown!)

Thanks Paul for the astute notation. All of the Montezuma Brown guitars I have seen, and ahem, I own two, have at the very least a tinge of orange in the finish. Brown and blonde only, they are not.
