TV silver

[Gilby]

Has anyone seen one in the flesh yet. In the photos the appear to be very thinly finished with plenty of grain coming through.
I like this ! I am tempted. Tried a G400 pro, liked the full, chunky neck. Unfortunately the board was quite dry, so I didn't take it away (would also prefer a '66 style). Made a couple of enquiries with potential stockists, my problem is lack of patience (I could live with an ebony black one:))

you could just treat the dry fretboard with mineral oil and it would be good as new or better.

I know, just annoys me that a "reputable", well staffed store can't be bothered to look after the stock on display.
Any way, tv silver. Cool or gross ?

From the pics, it looks like they put on the primer and forgot to do the rest of the finish

I guess its kinda cool. not my style but if I was in a KISS cover band I would want one. Silver is one of those colors that is cool in certain situations. Not all cars look good silver and same goes for guitars.

I guarantee they sell a hell of a lot fewer of ALL those Silver monstrosities combined than even one choice of the above style guitar beauties.
