I was wondering that actually ??? I think it might be that thing that happens with black trans stains a lot when they either look greenish or purplish instead of true black.......or perhaps it's meant to be green.
No matter the color, I'd buy one in a heartbeat... It's the perfect guitar... the woods, the playability ( that's an Ibby, that is saying something playability wise ), a 7 stringer too... The volume knob is offset which is something I almost always do on my guitars... Get a locking nut onto it, and you can sell that to thousands of people looking for something more than a plain 1527... Even the pickups they threw in as "temp" pickups are great stuff... And if they make one, there goes the competition... It's an amazing guitar, and it made me look into Chris' playing and MAN you kick major butt ! Technique AND taste, two qualities that are not so common in a single player usually... If I lived in the USA, I'd definitely consider taking lessons with you... And I'm picky about that stuff...
All I'm trying to say is, great job man, both your playing and the guitar...
Ugh yeah really... I've been trying to put that guitar out of my mind. I honestly hope they DON'T make that into a real production model.... only because if they do I KNOW I couldn't resist buying one. Possibly THE best Ibby 7 I've ever seen!
