Members FrankenSteinberger Posted June 27, 2013 Members Share Posted June 27, 2013 Of those two colors, I feel the green works best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kit_strong Posted June 27, 2013 Members Share Posted June 27, 2013 In no way is that a simple color poll as both look great. I'm leaning ever so slightly towards the burgundy mist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members primemover12 Posted June 27, 2013 Members Share Posted June 27, 2013 Bergundy! I'd like it even more if it were closer to a true purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted June 27, 2013 Members Share Posted June 27, 2013 Since it doesn't count I unabashedly vote neither. The green is horrible the burgundy is ok but you should relly make a bunch in deep candy apples. Green on a gold base, Cherry reds - real show rod cullers.

Members Special J Posted June 27, 2013 Members Share Posted June 27, 2013 Green. So does the new forum software not allow us to do polls? WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The green is horrible the burgundy is ok but you should relly make a bunch in deep candy apples. Green on a gold base, Cherry reds - real show rod cullers. If there was to be a bunch of them made, I would certainly go for candy apple colors, heavy metal flakes etc. But unfortunately, I only foresee two 700's being made, this one (#1) and another owned by the builder, Marco Krijger in the Netherlands.I simply cannot afford to have additional examples made, otherwise I'd have at least several specimens of this design made for myself in different color finishes and using different hardware (trem bridge, etc.) same with the Marz 6, but I only have one shot at owning an example of each of these two designs, so this is 'it'. I wouldn't object to either of these two Backlund models (Katalina 700 and Marz 6) being produced as a relatively affordable production guitar sometime in the future, but I wil not allow either to be made as expensive custom shop items. My two guitars are only custom-built instruments because that's obviously the only way to aquire an example of each for myself. They are not intended as production protoypes, though they could certainly be used as such if absolutely neccessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jpnyc Posted June 27, 2013 Members Share Posted June 27, 2013 Green. They both look great, but the burgundy mist just feels so natural and obvious for that guitar. The insansity of the green would make the guitar jump out at a crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted June 27, 2013 Members Share Posted June 27, 2013 Gotta admit, the more I look at them, the better the green looks. Change my vote from "burgundy" to "undecided leaning toward green." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members J Backlund Posted July 1, 2013 Author Members Share Posted July 1, 2013 Nothing to do with color, but here's how the two new guitars compare in size and proportion to a Telecaster.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
