I can finally get a neon pink strat!  :headbang:

 

[DangerousR6]

It's the 80's all over again...

 

[Updown]

:icon_scratch: ..... I can't find Neon Black.

I want a neon orange guitar badly. But I have just been unfaithful to Warmoth and bought an used Fernandes FR85s - so I have to work up some gear-cash again.  :sad1:

 

[Updown]

These colours look FANTASTIC  ..... when you add BLACK BINDING    :blob7:
(I was just mucking about with the builder)  :icon_biggrin:

:icon_scratch: ... I my have just found a match for my 'Stoomtrooper' Alpine White Strat with Black binding

Notice there are Transparent Neons as well ..... interesting.

I probably should have just started another thread to be honest, but...

Neon seems to have vanished off the builder.  :sad1:

Actually, it's still on the builder, but  they're off  http://www.warmoth.com/Guitar/Body/Finish/#!/Clear/Clear

Oh, no! I was thinking if I lived to be 41,297 years old, I might be tempted into maybe thinking about considering getting a neon-finished body.

<sigh> I guess that dream is dead.

Well, Gibson is here to rescue your dream, Cagey!  The 2018 lineup includes neon colored, Axcess-joint-necked, Floyd-bedecked LP's for your spandex-clad enjoyment.  So basically, everything I have no use for in a guitar.

I'm with you! But seriously, looking at these beauties, how could Gibson be having financial trouble??  :laughing11: :laughing3: :laughing7:

Yeah, you're toast, there. :laughing11:

<GASP!> How in the world did I miss that announcement?

So basically, everything I have no use for in a guitar.

Yeah, well, wait until you're 41,297 years old and see how you feel. At that point, you too may be tempted into thinking about maybe considering getting a neon-finished body. Or, just any body other than the one that's gotten to where it's betraying you on a daily basis. Or, whether it's worth putting your teeth in or just having Ensure for dinner again.

At 41k+ years old, it's probably more like "been there, done that."  Roasted beaverwood with African blackwood inlays?  Meh.  I've got three.

Neon pink?  Oh, okay...

 

[Cagey]

Hehe! Yeah. "Why not? I'm running out of options here..."

 

[Pelagaard]

The only thing that has me considering giving the big G my money these days is this beauty.

 

[ghotiphry]

You know what that reminds me of?

 

[Cagey]

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

-- Pink Floyd, 1973​

One of my fav songs.  Don't recall if I shared, but when I was in England back in Sept, I went to the Pink Floyd exposition at the Victoria and Albert museum.  It was awesome!

 

[Cagey]

Wish I had a nickel for every time I've heard it, but I'd pay them all back one at a time to hear it that many times again. Excellent piece of work. I posted it here because every time I see Dali's "The Persistance of Time" painting, that song comes to mind. They're both just so "peace/love/dope/hairy hippie chicks" you can't disconnect them :laughing7:

 

[ghotiphry]

Floyd.  That works for me.  You can quote that song anytime as far as I'm concerned.
