Pron.... GFSA style.

I know it's irrational, but I reckon we should have a thread where you can post links to guitars you want real bad, and guitars you think are just downright...

Pron.... GFSA style.

It does grow on you. Tele with a Bigsby, what colour is that, salmon pink?

I wouldn't have thought that I'd like a pink guitar either but for some reason this one really does it for me. I suppose if it was brand new out of the box I would not have liked it at all but the fact that it's roadworn changes everything.

singemonkey

Yeah. Salmon or shell-pink I think they call it. One of the line up of classic early-60s colours that just look right on a fender.

Oddly (or maybe not, I'm not familiar with vintage equipment) it's not a Bigsby though, it's an Epiphone trem. But yes, it does look good on a tele.

As I mentioned on FB, I'd put money on that being a Bigsby arm made to order for Epiphone and merely rebranded. If you recall, Fender Bigsbys are also (unless I'm way off) made by Bigsby, but have an F logo on them. Bigsby's kind of a whore ?

Aha, I never saw that comment. But still, a bit odd to have an Epiphone trem on a Fender guitar, no?

Refinished Ibanez RGDs, cause everyone who plays 7 strings seems to be getting sick of black ?

These guys are Zerberus guitars, not really my thing but I figured maybe someone would like them. ?

To finish off with, a beautiful PRS with a beautiful finish, cause I just love anything that reminds me of the ocean ?

Sho! That really is beautiful. Oh my soul!

In other good news, Carvin have finally caved and Allan Holdsworth now has a headless signature, as is his preference. ?

I'd rock a headless like that.

However, EW. Purple one deserves to be in your other thread.

I have no problem with the purple myself - unusual and good looking. But that brown pickguard... Put a black guard on there and it'll look 100 times better:

What is it with Holdsworth and the headless guitars anyhow?

I'm guessing, but Holdsworth likes smaller, hollow bodies and a headless is obviously less neck heavy. A zero fret also makes sure the action is perfect.

From what I understand Alan is pretty much bang on, one of the other reasons he states is cause he doesn't earn much money so having something that can fit in the overhead compartment on a plane and not weigh much is a plus.

I think the "brown" is actually gold, it just doesn't come out looking quite right in the photo.
