Do guitars get jealous? (sub1 content)

This is a discussion on Do guitars get jealous? (sub1 content) within the Music Man Guitars forums, part of the Gear Talk category; I noticed the other day my cinammon Sub1 turns green at certain angles? This was news to me!...

    That's pretty cool bro - I have noticed that my blue one turns purple and has a tinge of green in it in the sunlight. The black on is always black and I don't know if the graphite ones change colors in different light at different angles.
    What color is the cinammon sub 1? Wonder what it would look like without texture added and a gloss topcoat?

    It is a kind of burgundy colour.

    I was playing my RW Axis a few days ago and my Trans-Gold Axis gave me the finger and wouldn't let me touch her. But she is known to be a Diva...

    That Suby looks amazing from that light angle!

    Your Cinnamon Sub defiantly gives off a nice secondary green colour.

    Azazael...it's not jealousy. I found out, that the genetic code of a SUB is somehow linked to those of chameleons But this is not a problem....you might know that from women - sometimes a lady, sometimes a bi!t(h

    as much as I dislike the cinnamon color, as much as I like that green sparkle you got from that angle

    wow amazing

    conclusion, never look at something (someone) only from one aspect there is always a good thing hidden somewhere

    I actually think the cinammon is quite nice.
    I never had any choice in the spec of this guitar.
    If I was buying a Sub1 again I wouldn't have bought a Hardtail single humbucker version but thats just what landed in my lap.

    Colour wise I don't care, the scratchplate really adds something else to it but its how it plays and sounds which is the most important aspect.

    Even the finished necks on them are very nice... are the BFR JPs the same way?
