You don't like blue?

Edit - Ah, sorry, I seem to recall you are colour blind.
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Troy has been tempting me with this Custom Shop. Just not 100% sure about the relic though.

Come to think of it, blue is not my thing, but it was not a conscious thing. City wear blue, my team wears red. Was Maggie's colour too. Colour blind you can usually see colour, but when it is with other colours or under certain light conditions the brain misinterprets them. That blue Fender on this thread looks white to me tho.

Just googled blue guitar finishes image search and looked at a few hundred options. Nah. The blue i preferred is more an aqua, but even then. Courses for horses I guess.

It's just "Greens and Blues", right? Unless they mashed it up with their "Into the White" just to be colourful. Black Francis is funny sometimes.
