The original dye selected for the project was unstable and this guitar changed almost immediately to a plum color. Tom Ribbecke offered to refinish the guitar to get back to blue, but it turned out that Scott Chinery really liked this plum color -- and who can blame him? I think the back and sides are still blue.
That's exactly right. The Benedetto turned green the day after staining, but they had enough time to sand it off and start again with a different application. (Dale Unger, who worked with Bob Benedetto at the time, tells that story later in this series.) The Brad Nickerson guitar has a lot of grey in it, and maybe a little touch of brown. But few guitars have kept their original blue color---there are probably 18 different shades of "blue" out of the 22 guitars today.
These guys make the impossible POSSIBLE !!!
Superb playing.
Great playing
Nice? Understatement of the series!!!
Holy smokes!
Why is the Ribbecke not blue?
