What's Aqua Purple? And is it purple?

[cellkirk74]

I just found this:

Guitar Center: Platinum : Music Man Big Al Aqua Purple

Is that a new colour or just a wrong name?

As far as GC exclusives go, it is a new color for them. Pretty cool color much like the Dargie 2's. It color shifts from aqua to a light purple.

Aqua purple is the correct name for this color. We did a small run of them for Guitar Center. I have to say that those pictures don't do the color justice. The color is slightly color shifting kind of like Mystic Dream on a Petrucci. The pictures on that site don't show any of the purple shift unfortunately.

Well now cellkirk... you know what you need to do!

It's too bad GC doesn't order Bongos b/c that color would look great on a Bongo.

Here's a picture that shows the shift better...

I hope to have mine in my hands by the end of the week. I'll post pictures as soon as is reasonable. But I'm pretty sure the pix glen posted is the one that's coming home to me..

Just noticed that the pic Glen posted was hosted out of my PhotoBucket account... So I hope that is the one coming home to me... Shipment tracking says it should be here tomorrow. I'm excited.

I am curious.. were any other Music Man Guitars or Bass Guitars made in the Aqua Purple Finish? Or was it strictly for the Single H 4 string Big Als?

Exactly what I wanted to know too. Is there other stuff around in that colour?

I was told when i ordered mine that there were no SSS Big Als available in this color, but i didn't ask about any other models.
Should be here in the next few hours. Can't wait...

Looks like silver base color, with iridescent flecks. Don't know how obvious the color shift will be in person.

 

[stingray96191]

I'll let you know before the end of the day.

 

[stingray96191]

It's here... And it is pretty... It's certainly not just silver.. It's also near impossible to photograph. Primarily it's an aqua green and shifts to a light lavender. The pictures do not do it justice. I'd post pics but they are all already here. Maybe I'll take some others when the light is better.

 

[Freddels]

A video of it would probably show the color/changes better than a still picture.

 

[stingray96191]

Sorry about the shots of my saggy man chest.. just be glad i bothered to put any clothes on.

 

[jlepre]

COOL! I take it back...it looks VERY cool.

 

[stingray96191]

It's the only blue guitar finish I've ever liked.

I dont think I've ever looked at the Platimun site (even though I bought a Classic from them). But wow to all those great looking colors and especially with roasted necks. I wish I had deep pockets to buy a dozen of those. The blue frost and raspberry sorbet Rays look great, and the candy with roasted maple board is such a beauty.
