I'll Tell You What Color Your Blue Guitar Wants To Be.

[garrett]

On magnificent swami, please tell me what this ocean teal desires to be.

WANT!

A nasty side effect Sergio didn't consider is this thread is helping to fuel my blue guitar GAS.

 

[László]

HAD to go there, eh??

Actually, I LOVE the look of that amp. I was talking about Ampeg blue checkerboard tolex, a look that I never quite appreciated.

 

[Tosca]

IMHO, that guitar looks perfect the way it is. While I like some of the flamed/stained maple fretboards seen in the PSF thread, I think that would have been too much on this guitar. Tuner buttons too, in this case.

But...if you decide that you want to really get the same one but with flamed/stained fretboard and tuner buttons and you want to offload this beauty, let me know...

I agree...she's perfect. I may have been slightly exaggerating for effect...

 

[László]

After seeing all the lovelies in this thread, I'm starting to think that it's no accident that I like my blue one.

 

[sergiodeblanc]

Oh omniscient one...I obtained this wayward blue guitar a while back but already corrected it's offensive color...did I get it right?

Your guitar thanks you for listening to its wishes, Tosca. It wants me to tell you you are a good owner and it wants more brothers and sisters.

 

[sergiodeblanc]

Ya know, after the gifting of the White Westie, it's very generous of Sergio to offer to refinish all of our blue guitars himself...

...that, or it's just the guilty feelings kicking in....

Sure, I'll paint everybody's blue guitars. It would be my pleasure.

 

[sergiodeblanc]

Here you go Sergio I got 3 blues for you

Jade, Magenta, and Jet White.

It's hard to tell the reasons from all the chatter of all three speaking to me at once, but their shouts are very specific as to which color they each long to be.

 

[sergiodeblanc]

Mrs. commissioned this one on the sly.

This guitar has a bit of an identity crisis being born by deceit. Although the deception was carried out in the most loving way and with the kindest of intentions, it impacted this guitar in a curious way that awakened its spirt animal: A big cat.

Originally destined to be Tiger Eye, this guitar became resilient after being mis-coloured. So malleable is this creature that it is defiant towards the adage of "A leopard cannot change its spots" and will go to great lengths to disprove this, until it is in fact, painted Leopard Print.

 

[sergiodeblanc]

Please tell, what colours do these 3 wise men want to be?

As above, when there are too many at once it becomes harder to hear the guitar's feelings individually. However, it usually devolves into a shouting match with each one yelling single words so I will relate them to you in order from left to right:

Faded Emerald, traded in for a PRS, and Tortoise shell with a Platinum back.

 

[sergiodeblanc]

I have a different problem:
My orange 513 begs me to be refinished in FBJ, but the PTC is really far away....

Your guitar implores me to tell you that it is quite happy in its natural state.

 

[sergiodeblanc]

I must rest now... Speaking with the wood takes a lot out of me.

 

[Iceman101]

Well Serge what's the verdict.

 

[Tosca]

I must rest now... Speaking with the wood takes a lot out of me.

Translation: seemed like a good idea for a thread...turned out to be WAAAAAY much more work than I bargained for.

He even skipped over mine!

You guys buy so many damn blue guitars...

 

[Tosca]

Poor Sergio forgot just how many blue guitar pics we posted to the "Sergio's 'I've got the blues'" thread.

 

[sergiodeblanc]

He even skipped over mine!

That's not true, it's right after 11tops blue LP. I haven't gotten to it yet.

Poor Sergio forgot just how many blue guitar pics we posted to the "Sergio's 'I've got the blues'" thread.

Sh!t... That thread went Platinum certified in 2 hours.

You have no idea.

If I had a radio station YOU, my fine fellow, would have a call-in show ....

 

[ElrytNamrogo]

Well Serge what's the verdict.

I don't want to speak for the guy, but I did get this quote from Sergio a few years back regarding Whale Blue...

As much as I dislike blue.... whale blue is such a classic PRS color! I kinda look at it like "patient X". A guitar like this is where the present scourge of blue started... fascinating to behold, yet terrifying when I think of what was to come after its introduction.

If you're gonna blue yourself, something like this would be the way to go.

respect.

But, like I said...I don't want to speak for the guy.
