Help! A Woman's Sacrifice for her Husband...

[PugNinjas]

Okay...okay...tell me what you think: I have been fervently spending my lunch hour for the past week looking at color and PG for the first of what I hope to be many a Ball for my Brokenvail:

Candy Red with Black Pearloid PG
Sapphire Black with the Python PG
Olive Gold with Gold Swirl PG
And my final confliction Egyptian Smoke with Abalone PG

What is a girl to do!?!?! ARGH!!

If you really love Candy Red (which is an outstanding color) we need Fogman to post a certain Morse pic. Now, let me preface this by saying I hate the tortoise pickguards, but the combination of Candy Red and Tortoise works incredibly well

....I just realized I may have added to your dilemma. sorry

I have it filed as Candy Red.
I think it looks a tad like Radiance because it's slightly over exposed from the flash.

That almost looks like a black headstock on it, too... almost!

Either way, that's a snazzy looking Morse.

 

[jamminjim]

Egyptian Smoke with Abalone or White Pearl guards is really nice...

 

[PugNinjas]

Yeah, that was the first Morse I ever encountered in person. The former dealer from whom I ordered my old AL (see TwAn for details) owned that Morse. I was a beauty although it had a big paint chip missing. That combo of Candy Red and shell is quite nice.

 

[JoeDogInKC]

Thems some nice "blue balls" you got there.

 

[brokenvail]

Egyptian Smoke is waaaay cooler in person. Green, red, and gold flakes in that there paint job.

You know this pring up a question that I know I have and I am sure my wife my might be interested in. What is the difference in finishes? I see sparkles, then here we see a refference to flakes (metal I assume) and there is also refference made to pearl and at least one other that I can not remember. So guys a little education please

Oftentimes if a paint color "sparkles" then it has metal flake in it. If it "shimmers" then it has pearl. The sparkle and shimmer effects add to the depth of the color. Colors like Black/White are just plain with no pearl or sparkle - you can't get much deeper than either one!

Good info Pete, thanks

 

[Dizzy]

Both the vails are great sports and this is a great thread to give Silo's a shot in the arm...My first baby...

YEAHHHHH !!!

 

[paranoid70]

I really like your Silo Dizzy. Very classy.

 

[whitestrat]

Oh ****... Now I'm stumped... This is gorgeous! Can anyone post some Graphite Pearls and Egyptian Smokes side by side to get a good comparison?

Rosewood board, natty stock, ES or GP body, white pearloid guard... That's gonna be gorgeous!!!!

 

[whitestrat]

Always a stunner Dizz...

Anyways, how's this for a conservative Silhouette Special? Can't get anymore conservative than this...
