That is friggin' hot!

[Warfish]

Fender Antigua!

 

I do love that color.

 

I also own a Schecter D.S. S-1 in "Army Green Burst", that I cann't find an image of online.

 

Gibson Inverness GReen is Epic as well.

 

With all that said, I prefer Natural/Woody Finishes, but Green in nice as well.

Green, pink, and purple...are you from the 80's? ...or Tokyo? ...or both?

 

[zantor9]

I like this one.

 

I dont normally like green but that is nice...what brand is that?

 

And yeah i dont prefer bright green or yellow or any bright 80's guitar looks but i DO like transparent green and was considering getting that color for my strat body from GFS.

 

I also LOVE Prages' Peavey Wolfgang

Tacky my ass

Tacky like a '57 Chevy is tacky:

 

My dad is color blind, so I understand that certain shades can be confusing. However, I can assuredly tell you that neither of those are green...

that light blue guitar above would look amazing with a maple neck

Green guitars might be my second "least favorite" with yellow being my number 1 least favorite EXCEPT!!!! for TV Yellow, which I'd still love to get on of -

 

But I think green, if done nicely is pretty sweet.

 

Here's my one and only green guitar.

 

SBG700S With Gibson Pickups

 

 

picks from when I was trying out Duncans in it

 

 

But then again, it ain't just "green" that's a "greenburst"

Why thank you. I've had trouble "dialing that guitar in". The stock pickups sounded sterile at best, I then made what I thought was a logical approach by putting in a Duncan '59 and a Pearly Gates. In that guitar, the tone became muddy/piercing bright/thin. Since the guitar has coil tap, I could get some relief on the neck, but then it was also too thin. My next shot was to go against conventional wisdom and go Gibson ceramics. It's now got a 496R in the neck, which is much more focused and defined than the '59 and with the 500T it is warmer and fuller than the PG. Maybe not perfection, but it's now my Yamaha version of an LP Classic.

[HanSolo]

Yup, green abalone dots too.

I'm a member of the green guitar lovers club. If green is tacky, I don't want to be tasteful.

[pigman]

Like a Duracell, it's a copper top.

I love green and blue/green guitars. Here's mine in aquamarine metallic:

 

[nighthawk15]

I love green guitars. There are certain shades that don't look right on certain applications though. Then again I also think some of the colors others think are amazing look puketastic but I won't get into that.
