Once I went Black with a “ Pauls” I’ll never go back

I would kill for a black top, cherry back McRosy

Gilmour’s Strat, Frampton’s Les Paul, Clapton’s Strat, BB’s 355… nothing wrong with black.

‘Cept the cleaning part.

I love em...
Matte black PS MEV that I had made.

Custom Shop SC 0000 Martin 12 string that I had made a couple years back

I have a black G&L Nighthawk I bought new in 1983 and a 1997 blackburst ce22.

I don't mind black guitars as long as they're cool!

I've owned about 7 PRS's over the years .. CE's, McCarty's .. Tremonti's. The Terms and MCC's were sold. They were stunning looking and played well .. but were both distant second place to my 1990 CE24 and 1993 CE22. BY THE WAY .. the 24 is Ferrari RED and the 22 is BLACK. Some guitars have life, resonance and feel and it has nothing to do with color or finish.

So classy.

I dunno, like one responder said "black is like the tuxedo" or words to that effect.
I really dig most of the colors in the PRS line (I do have my own personal prejudices that I won't divulge) and for the most part they are gorgeous and very artistic. That's one of the reasons PRS guitars are sought after and prized I think.
But I do love my "tux" McCarty...

Well, I must digress, I totally forgot that one of mine is black....well kinda. My 2013 Epiphone Joe Bonamasa Signature '59 has a Pelham Blue top but the entire rest of it is black, lol. Does that count?

Black is the third best solid color option for a guitar.

After blue and...blue?

 

[dmatthews]

How about an Onyx Silver Sky in a black "first 500" hard case?



And a flamey neck...



Yeah, I dig it!

Black cars, on the other hand are a form of punishment...

That’s a fact. My previous 4 vehicles were black. What a PITA they were to keep clean. I came home with the newest one in 2021. The Mrs inquired if it was black, and I told her no way. No more black vehicles for us. Then she said, “as long as it’s not red…” OOPS! My bad. Red it is. She got over it.

I Seem To Be Ok With Almost Any Color Guitar If It Looks Right On That Guitar. I Have A Guitar Problem, Not A Color Problem...LOL.

How very Keith Richards of you ("I have a police problem, not a drug problem" - Keith Richards)!!!

 

[aamefford]

My favorite is black. As in opaque black S2 standard shape, with a black pick guard. I think I’d never buy another guitar if my Santana was white.

He Isn't Wrong...

 

[helmi]

Not a fan, bit if I loved everything else about the guitar, it wouldn’t stop me from buying it.

Well, that Robben Ford one looks great as is :

 

[Gtrbldr]

Love black opaque PRS guitars. For the solid coloured PRSi I think they ty for my favourite colour (the other one being goldtop).
