Location: Orlando, Florida | Has anyone seen the new Elite T in Lusty Red? I've seen pictures on eBay, and it looked pretty nice. One question: Who thinks up these names?!? Imagine after a worship service, your pastor comes up to you and says he admires your guitar: you say "Oh pastor, thank you, I just got it! Don't you love the color, it's LUSTY RED!" I don't know, but it doesn't work for me!

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as SCARLET, they shall be as white as snow; though they be RED like CRIMSON, they shall be as wool.
Will the next red model be call CRIMSON SIN or SCARLET INIQUITY? :) Just kidding, but this is a great promise from the Lord fulfilled in JESUS CHRIST.

If you're worried about it and your pastor asks, just say RED. If he looks confused, just explain that it's the same color as the bingo chips. Dave |

It's a call/response thing.
The leader calls out "BINGO!"
To which everyone else responds, "Aw, SH!T!" |

Location: Orlando, Florida | Sorry guy, I didn't mean to offend anyone - it was a joke! Let me be very clear: I wasn't offended by the name "LUSTY RED", I just thought it was extremely DUMB!!!! To me at least, a guitar that is worth over a thousand dollars should not be given cutesy names or colors. That should be saved for the cheaper imports and Daisy Rock guitars. And after all that, let me say that I actually liked the 1778T in the color LUSTY RED!

Location: Phoenix AZ | I think naming colors is tough. You want something that is memorable and brings a visual to mind when you hear it. Lusty Red isn't too bad. Without ever seeing the guitar I've got a pretty good idea what it looks like. Dave |

or AMC's "Big Bad Blue". I know I'm forgetting some, old age? :D |
