MartyGrass Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 There is a world of difference between salmon and pink. Don't confuse those two. It's like mixing up kilts with a skirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuz Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I absolutely love my SALMON Kirn Tele (which I am afraid to say has naturally faded to more of tangerine with salmon). And if I had the cash I would by that ROSE (yes, that is the actually Heritage color definition) 535 and slap a Bigsby on her. Where is the 50s love for a "Pink Caddy" ? Pink can be BADA$$!!!!!!!!!

A kilt is a man skirt. It takes a *real* man to wear a skirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never misinterpret that beautiful SALMON colored Tele of yours as pink. I would be a proud owner of that Tele. However . . . .that 535 is PINK . . . with a capital PINK!!! I don't care what Heritage chooses to call it. It's pink. It's girlish pink to boot!!! It's a great guitar for a guy to use on stage during breast cancer awareness month. Other than that . . . . it's just sissy pink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schundog Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 If it had been done, and I had the dough to plunk down at the moment, I might have been persuaded to pick this beauty up.

JeffB Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 My wifes car has pink striping on it. Pale pink, 3/4", understated and not garish. But in my mind when ever Ive had to drive it the whole car takes on a pink hue and the stripes become 6" wide and deep rich pink. I hate driving it to the point where I just wont. Even with usually being able to look past the finish of a guitar I do struggle with this pink one. It is pink no two ways about it. Im feeling a bit conflicted. On the one hand Im pretty sure its a rocking guitar, on the other, its really pink. I dont own anything thats pink and thats completely with out putting any thought into it. If I naturally gravitated to pink, I would have other pink items already. After 47yrs of accumulating stuff and not one item that is pink, I can deduce that I have an aversion to pink. Done. Sorted. I dont like this pink guitar. I might like the sound of it but I would never play it. If that pink guitar was opaque black I would have it.

mark555 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I have a couple of pink shirts in my wardrobe, and once nearly got a salmon pink 62 strat, but I draw the line there! That pink 535 is a waste of good wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 If I got a pink guitar, I'd put Smurf and Powderpuff decals on it. Why hold back? Because the Smurf blue would clash with the Barbie pink, darling, THAT'S why! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredZepp Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 That is a excellent Reservoir Dogs clip.. I was going to say that this guitar needs a black pickguard to offset the pink-ishness, but it turns out that it already has one. I wonder why I didn't notice it the first time.... I remember that the pink one in the finishing room certainly grabbed your attention as you walked by it. The Pepto rocker, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schundog Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 This one is my daughters; Definitely not as BAM! as that 535, but there definitely is no mistaking it's pinkness.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
