I was wondering what different EBMM finishes were released. I am a sucker for green guitars (metal flake green is the bomb! ), but there hard to get (or mega expensive ;) ) since they don't sell I've heard. Anyway, I'm wondering how many different greens theres been released? :) And of course, if you have them, please post pics (Foggy! :rolleyes: ).

The very first green EBMM I ever saw was Dweezil Zappa's Silhouette Special that he was playing when he came to Hawaii with Lisa Loeb. It was a sparkle green and I fell in love with it.

I had no idea how to get a custom color like that though. Now DDII is on the way! :)

I've always wondered about Dweezil's EBMM guitar though. I've a been following his guitar playing since "Havin' a Bad Day". I even painted my guitar that charger green color like his in high school. I used a varathane "colors in plastic" paint and it took FOREVER to dry!

Too bad Dweezil doesn't have a signature model too!

That is Gremlin Green, the Holy Grail of Green Sparkle guitars, Mr. Greene and BP each have one, I almost bought it myself, but Mike wanted it way more than me. Though BP has never posted any pictures of his, it's suppose to have a mirrored PG if memory serves me right.

There is Envy Green as well, Mr. Greene has one of those too.

I thought that Dweezil only had the Strato Blue AL. I'd love to see pictures of the Silo Special, was it dark green or light green?

Come to think of it, it WAS an AL NOT an SS!

It was a lighter green if my memory serves me correct (but often doesn't)

Kimono, it was probably the Strato Blue, it's a powder blue metalic, I only have this small picture of it. Blues can look like greens under the stage lights.

You may be right. The only pic I could find from their gig here was this:

There was a gremlin green silo on the bay a couple months ago. I had to let it go and it hurt. I'll post my mfg silo spec in a bit.

I love that color. Looks almost the same as the green found on Benji Madden guitars. If the Madden was routed SSH I would buy one just for the body (replace the neck, new pickguard, pickups etc. ;) ).

That is the Benji Madden green - originally metal flake green - when it was retired it was re-named and became exclusive to the Benji - now also retired.
