Everyone knows that -4 is the only finish that really matters. Everything else is just...un-natural.

Some blues are OK especially when they don't fade to grean. Green, it don't work for me. |

~~~I used to think anything not a natural finish was crazy. Now I like 'em all except green. The red mandolin is very cool.

Location: Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey | A guy, that played often at this open mic I used go to, had this Celebrity 6 string that had a pale pink body with a nasty barbie pink/magenta-ish burst around the edge It was a bit scary and quite nausiating...and I'm as liberal as they come when it comes to wild guitar colors. He insisted it was purple...but no, it was definitely pink-and far too pink-not even remotely close to the pinkest shade of lavender. It was just an effing gross pink burst ....and not a custom color (even scarier) either. I think even C.C. Deville of Poison would have passed on that one for being too flamboyant a guitar.
I could have forgiven his poor taste if it at least sounded good...but no. Nice guy though, and a really talented singer.
Next to THAT guitar, ALL of you would choose green without a second thought!

I think that, referencing the band names thread, that 'The Plastic Applicators' should all probably play pink guitars...or pearl white. I'm not sure. But, they don't *have* to be Ovations. :) |

A white sport coat (sport coat)
And a piiink crustacean
All dressed up for the sand

Location: Monroe, Ohio (Cincinnati) | I don't know which color I like best, but I just realized all of my acoustic guitars are natural.
I do know that natural is the best color for blending in the hole I dug in my cedar top Seagull (ala Willie Nelson) from getting too enthusiastic during Praise and Worship.
I found this site and did this before I did the same to my other guitars.
