My girlfriend is a bass player and she asked me about getting a purple sterling. I checked the site, and saw no purple. I noticed a general lack of purple, green and pink on the standard models (non signature.) Where'd they go? Are they coming back? I always see such amazing pics of trans purple, trans pink, and trans green music man guitars on ebay. I know they're not conventional guitar colors, but they're soooo cooool.

I think Purple is awesome and so is green, but I dont think majority of guitar players and bass players do. They simply dont sell, as BP said...especially green for some reason. There is a REALLY awesome purple Silo Special on ebay...just like Vinnie Moore with a rosewood board and the Music Man vintage trem. If I had enough money I would snag that right away!
Oh, and I am so glad I got my Purple Sunset Y2D
!!! One of the most beautiful finishes ever! I'm sure you agree my friend .

A wise man once said ... "green guitars don't sell".

I love green guitars and own two, so they sell to me.

I was paraphrasing BP there ... green has never been a big seller (to the retail stores ... we're freaks here so don't really represent the bulk of MM buyers). Basically they only keep so many colours in the system- every year the ones that don't get any love are discontinued.

one day some hotshot guitar player will play only green guitars then green will be a fashionable colour for guitars. cant wait... i reckon green guitars are awesome. if i wasnt so obsessed with natural grain finish guitars i'd be all about the greens

Speaking from a retail standpoint. Green and Purple are the toughest guitars to sell. However give me mint green any day! I had a dark green string ray 4 in my store. I probably sold 5 to 1 before it was said and done. I also had an green strat that was a beast to sell. I thought it was going to the grave with me. I mean you have those guys that love odd ball stuff. But the majority of buyers want black, sunburst and white. Best Selling colors in the music retail business.
