If you change your mind and want to have a HHH, it was just an idea.

okay, but i really have no want of a 3 HB pup guitar -- I need the real estate in between as i'm a finger picker -- can't dig in over top a HB pup

Doesn't it really depend on which guitar?

Al is the only guitar that I can see pulling off a stunning and classy Pinkburst (though those Limited Axis' in Japan were hot too!)

Standard JP's, Silo's and Luke's I really love in solid 1 tone colors, sparkles, or pearls.

BFR's - man Trans Ruby is hot hot hot!

Y2D - Tobacco Burst, absolutely stunning

Gold Roller......


Man, I can't pick one!

Gotta give love to the wonderful venetian redburst though, (I own one! :D) Red is just a fantastic color!

You make a really good point, Steve. It DOES depend on the guitar. For instance, I can't see myself with Morse unless it's BlueBurst. I probably would go for a more classic finish on an Axis, like Tobacco Burst or Cherry Burst. And the AL is the home of PinkBurst, hence why the BFR AL is the only guitar you can get it on.

For Silo, JP, Luke and their BFR counterparts, I could really go with any color.

Sparkle White: on an AL with solid IRW neck
Sparkle Black (like Luke's): on a Luke, match HS
Radiance Red: on a Silo Spec.RW, white pearl, match HS
Medallion Gold: on an AL with tortoise guard, RW, match HS
Trans Orange: on a BFR Luke
Pearl White: on an all-white Axis SS, 3 X MM90, match HS
Sterling Silver: on a Luke, match HS

Somewhat of a pattern...

Sunburst or Honeyburst with a quality quilt top has always been mine. However, my ultimate finish which I don't believe is available would be a red and black Axis. I owned a Axis with the same color scheme but in a flat finish that had a Warper Tour or Battle of the Bands logo, but I couldn't get past the logo that I sold it. I'm sure I will regret the decision as I'm sure there were only a couple built!

I would love to have this guitar with a gloss finish and a maple fretboard!!!!!

Transparent Pink & Purple

I think they should bring back Transparent Pink and Purple. Japan just got a shipment from Ernieball a few months back of Trans Pink, They look just as good as the EVH run did from 91 to 95. They should really bring it back or even as custom made option. I don't get it.:mad:
