You mean somebody bought a perfectly reasonable looking 0026 and then intentionally screwed it up like that?

RE: "I looked it up and the advertised color is actually: Reverse Barf Burst"
Does that mean that there is a "Full Barf Burst" out there as well?
It does have that Lava-Lamp sort of ambiance about it. Sit back and relax playing it on your purple felt couch in your orange shag carpeted Living Room. |

Location: NJ | When I first came in this morning, I got the e-mail/pic and said "Why in the hell is he sending me THIS??". At first, I thought that you had it ForSale and thought I might be intereseted in it.
In the midst of removing you from my e-mail list, I remembered this thread . . .
That color scheme is reminiscent of waking up in a bar room toilet stall that day after St'Patrick'sDay . . .
. . . so I've been told, anyway . . |

I blame cliff and Woody. And Schroeder, even though he's behind on quantity of posts (he makes it up in quality). ;) |

If that was a compliment, stop it. I don't react well to kindness or encouragement. Believe me you really don't want me to come round your house and do my guitar and jokes act. |

The wife asks who's gonna wannna buy that car and the scene changes to some guy in a green apartment with green clothes and hat, who's thrilled to death to find the green car. |

Anybody been to an H&R Block this year??
Had this guitar been a bright, bold green (or whatever color), I might be able to deal with it.
But, "Watered-down PeaSoupBurst" just doesn't do it.
btw: The "hot" color for next year will be a dark, "coffee" brown . . . . |

Then again, in a nearby thread the talk varies from selling various levels of guitars smoothly into where to buy kitchen cleansers. You have to love this place :D |
