Idle curiosity...what's the most popular Bongo color?

[adouglas]

Okay, so we've heard BP tell us that black and natural are far and away the most popular colors overall.

But natural Bongos don't exist, and black Bongos are exceedingly rare, based on what we've seen around here.

So, what's the most popular color for Bongos?

I'm guessing DG, but that's just a guess.

Anyone know?

I bet graphite pearl is up there. It seems almost every bongo I've seen around here has been graphite pearl

soon to be blue dawn...

but now i would say sapphire black...

I would say 1) and 2) would have to be Desert Gold and Sapphire Black. Not sure which order, but pretty much every GC known to man has had several Bongos in those colors.

My guess would be DG but when dargie hits the deyboard on Monday he can enlighten us

 

[saxnbass]

I would guess DG too, as it seems to be pretty common.

Interesting. The most common ones in the local stores around here are CBP.

Some of that could be about right.Teal pearl & rolls burgandy dont seem too common ,whilst CPB,DG and saphire black are all at the top.

for me personally,I think teal pearl is a killer finish on the bongo.I'd love a single H in teal

I'm sure it was a DG Bongo the UK mags all reviewed on its release.I guess these things stick in the mind for the prospective buyer

Even now when I think of a Sterling I dont picture my own but the one that was photographed all the time in the mid 90s - the old original dark/midnight pearl blue with a white PG and rosewood board
