What are your opinions on these colors?

[SHEPPARDB.]

I'm in the process of spec'ing out a Suhr guitar and these are a few of the color options available.I know the one that I like best but I would like to know what others find the most appealing.Reason being is that I am a total gear slut and the day will come when I sell it to finance something else.So I think a color that appeals to more folk than just me is important.

Guitar number one for me.

 

[stevieb]

Yeah, I like #1 best, too. The aqua looks cool, but I think it would get passe', and the magenta is hideous!

 

[Milnoque]

#3 Ten Characters

 

[Greg_L]

They're all hideous and cheesy and I'm so glad the 80's are long gone. Having said that, #3 is the least hideous to me.

 

[emac]

#3 then #1

 

[Lt. Bob]

#4 and then #2

 

[aaronmcoleman]

not a fan of flamed tops at all...welcome to the 80s.

since they are all pretty bad, i'd go with the hot pink and gold hardware in #5.

 

[stevieb]

Ha! Just noticed the pink (magenta!) one has 'buckers and gold hardware!

Is a solid color an option?

Is a solid color an option?

Yes.Everything is an option, but I'm certain that I want a quilted maple top and it would just be wrong to paint something that pretty a solid color.

I like the bengal burst myself.

which is why I don't like tobacco bursts .... they cover up a significant portion of the grain that makes a top like that attractive. I went with just a transparent orange on my Stinnett because I wanted every bit of the quilt to show.

number 1 or 2 look the cleanest and most classy. have fun with your new ax

 

[gecko zzed]

Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I can't say that any of them particularly appeal to me. So I would go either with the most conservative (i.e. the first), or the quirkiest (i.e. the pinky colour).

 

[buzzard bass]

Numbers 3 and 4, but agree none are really attractive. The bursts are too extreme.

 

[Murdersgalore]

#3 for me. #1 is too common looking. #2 looks like a desktop background pattern for windows 3.11. #4 doesn't look finished and #5.......ghey!

 

[WhiteStrat]

Number 4, but with gold hardware.
