Carbon Blue is not one of those on the about to be discontinued list. Nor is Medallion Gold.

I am guessing Rolls Burgundy is.

LOL

Thanks for the additional pics, guys.

Carbon Blue is another one of those problematical colors to photograph. (Wait a minute...a LOT of the EBMM colors are hard to photograph well...they look so different - and better - in person.)

Some of those shots look deep blue-black, others look almost gray, and at least one looks almost teal. Fortunately I've actually seen Carbon Blue.

The moonstone is pretty sharp, too...tough call between it and abalone.

I like the dark pickguards on the MG better than the MOTO. Less lounge-lizardy. But that color still makes me think of a mid-'70s Coupe de Ville with wire rims, wide white sidewall tires, a white interior and a white vinyl Landau roof.

Sort of like this...

 

[Dr Stankface]

Sort of like metal flake brown eh?

Tried to find a better match but came up dry....

So which PIC in your opinion most clsely resembles the colour in person???
I haven't seen the colour in person yet!

Why don't you order a damn EBMM guitar in CBP then Foggy?

Sheeeeesh.

You know, I've actually considered that!!!

I was actually thinking of doing a little contest and having the EBMM forum decide on a colour combination.

 

[Dr Stankface]

The obvious winner is CBP.

Now order the guitar.

 

[fogman]

The obvious winner is CBP.

But what combination???
rosewood? maple?
moonstone? black? white?

 

[adouglas]

These are pretty close. It's sort of a slightly grayish blue. Gunmetal?

 

[Dr Stankface]

CBP/Abalone/Rosewood/Matching headstock

Duh

 

[fogman]

AWESOME!!!! Thanks.

 

[fogman]

CBP/Moonstone/Rosewood/NON-matching headstock

Duh

Corrected!!!!

 

[Dr Stankface]

Corrected!!!!

See, if it was maple, i'd say keep that plain headstock. That rosewood screams for the MH though.

I may agree with you on a bass guitar, but I find it iffy on a 6 strings since the headstock is so small.

Its all good no matter how you dress it though!!

 

[Dr Stankface]

Hmmm..

This has got me thinking. A carbon blue sparkle.

 

[fearofcups]

gorgeous...

 

[Dr Stankface]

I love how nobody voted for DG.

 

[adouglas]

Well, I DO already have one...still love the DG/tort combo.

That pic of the black MOTO on carbon blue is really sweet. Especially the way the white edge sets it off. Is that a stock EBMM black moto guard or is it aftermarket?
