Discontinued Finish Tally...

[brasco68]

So....yesterday was the last day to get orders in for those finishes that were going to be discontinued. Knowing that yesterday was the last day...I'm sure that lit a fire under some people to get their orders in (like myself).

If you ordered one of the discontinued colors (shown below)...what did you order?

1) Egyptian Smoke
2) Graphite Pearl
3) Orange Firemist
4) Electric Blue
5) Olive Gold
6) Cabernet Pearl
7) Ice Blue
8) True gold

Discontinued BFR

1) Amethyst
2) Emerald
3) Walnut
4) Tobacco burst

I have a Cabernet Pearl on the way, but I ordered that back in September. I was hoping to get an Egyptian Smoke next year, but I guess that won't happen

I was wanting Ice Blue, but I may have a line on a VERY cheap Silo20. If I get it, I'm going to have it sprayed Daphne Blue.

I have an Egyptian Smoke Silo. Its a great color. Too bad its discontinued.

Huh, guess I never figured you for a JP kind of guy... Electric blue looks sweet!

 

[azazael]

When did the blue pearl get discontinued?

 

[ily]

if they are discontinued

can we place international order if they aren'nt in stock in France
dealers will be autorized or not

 

[Headstock]

I did place an order for a new pickguard for my white sparkle silo spec. Orange Swirl

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

When did the blue pearl get discontinued?

Don't worry, Blue Pearl is still available! Ice Blue and Electric Blue are gone.

I wanna see the Cabernet next to the Rolls Burgundy to see if I can tell them apart

 

[Big Poppa]

you can tell them apart really both nice colors

 

[ernie1966]

They're all nice colors. The sad part is that you can never appreciate them until you see them in person. Egyptian Smoke is one of the greatest colors you guys have ever produced. There is so much going on in that finish that the camera can never pick up. The eye is the ultimate discerner, God or who ever or what ever you believe in got it right.

I did more of a teaser post in the long "discontinued colors and pickguards" post but I'll come clean here:

Silo Special
SSS
Rosewood fingerboard
Trem
Olive Gold
Gold Swirl pickguard
Matching headstock

After missing the Dargie II window to order one exactly as I wanted it I was toying with either Olive Gold or Egyptian Smoke for a 2010 Silo Special. When I saw the discontinued colors post I showed my wife pics of the two colors. She flipped for the Olive Gold so that made the decision easier for me.
