Newish Guitar day. VERY PINK

Recommended Posts

Posted

I bought this recently, for my 80s duo and band.

It is the most pink colour ever. Neon, very hard to photograph

Anyway, I've already upgraded the pickups to Yonderbosk and changed the volume pot for the thing that BM currently uses live

That's fun. The challenge with such a distinctive instrument is making it your own; going for such an atypical colour can, imo, help with that. 

 

Ha..! The way I play guitar, any guitar, it's instantly recognisable as 'my own', however 'distinctive' it may be..! Fat chance of being taken for Brian May, using a 'Red', still less Hendrix with a Strat, or Alvin Lee with a 335..! Quality will out, and those players have qualities that I do not. I stand out in any crowd of players; just maybe not for the right reasons..! :$

I know how you feel! I shied away from Hendrixing a Strat for years because those comparisons would..... not be flattering.... now for that very reason I'm tempted because there's no way anyone could accuse me of sounding like him. ;)

I did the upside strat many years ago. Sounded great but upper fret access was terrible. Sold it to a lefty handed mate in 1990 and he still uses it now

Works for me - I've never been much inclined to play above the 15th fret or so anyhow.... My very marked preference for a 21 fret over a 22 is purely aesthetic. :)
