CHROME WITH MATCHING HEADSTOCK!!!!!!!

I read somewhere that Steve Stevens had this done to a couple of his guitars and they became so heavy that he either donated or retired them.

Cool idea though, just not sure about the weight.

i bought that steve vai guitar that was all chrome it's not heavy at all. very light. every time i play that guitar (i play guitar badly) i keep thinking. i wish i had a stringray in this color. i haven't checked out the chrome iceman paul stanley guitar (the one that looks cracked) paul is a skinny guy and he swung that thing around like he was cutting wood.

Speaking of weighty basses, a clear Stingray would be pretty darn cool. Not that it would happen, but it's interesting to imagine.
 
I hope this is not already been beaten to death.... how about an orange metallic (lava pearl?) with sun shaped inlays on the fretboard?
 
+1 on the yellow ritchie

or road flare red :D

why the fark did all the skinny stringers get all the vivid colors of the 80ies? :)

thunder isnt that chrome guitar you're talking about a Joe Satriani model. Called Chrome boy?
 
I love to see a Bongo with the same woods and finish as the SR30th. The 30th is one awesome looking - and playing - bass. It'd be cool to have a Bongo to match!

Is that a cross between "puce" and "pus?"

:p

I've always been partial to British Racing Green. That's not, contrary to what some might have you think, metallic. It's a really rich, dark, solid green that has (I think) a bit of yellow in it. MGs from the 60s were available in that color, IIRC. I think I've also seen it on Jaguars. It was also used on the Lotus GP cars from the 60s:

That color with a yellow pickguard....schweet.

I know, I know...green basses don't sell, Envy Green and the Dargies have already been done, no more green, etc. etc. etc.



How a BP hawaiian-shirt motif?


I'm just sayin'.

Yea, you could call it the "Packer Ray". No you actually probably couldn't. But if you could........I'll take 3!

My vote would be for CAR Metalflake/RW/stringthrough/CAR metalflake fretmarkers/red tort or white pearl pickguard
 
The 2005 LE was already a white one.... go orange I tell you, go orange. Orange is hip. Been to the Geneva auto show this year, every other sports car manufaturer had an orange metallic model there. Gorgeus I tell you. :D
