Anyone into Blue Guitars?

[Woody Sound]

Here's a way to add a matching electric nylon crossover to your blue archtop. These are awesome electric nylon crossovers, great for Latin, bossa, etc. I have owned two, have been using one for several years now. No affiliation with the seller or this particular guitar.

You know, I have always wanted a blue guitar. But for some reason not a blue ARCHTOP. Something about the archtop says "tradition" to me, and for me it needs to be a burst or natural.

But I'd love a DGT in blue



or a Luke III

I like Carvin and do want a nylon crossover. But I probably wouldn't play it as much as I think I would.
I have this...

Heritage H575 Custom

You can never have too many blue gits, I LOVE that 575!!!

Damn, some players are Soo... stodgy... natural, or Gibson horrid "tobacco" burst. :-)

This one is on clearance locally... So tempting... But, I have a 335, I HAVE a 335 damn!

This mij blue flower has been my baby since new in 1988.

I've seen guitars with blue opaque paint that I liked, but somehow blue stained with the wood grain showing through looks odd to my eyes. Although, according to my wife, "stodgy" is not an in-apt description for me. I was born in 1959 and apparently was about 60 years old by 1970.

This is my favorite blue guitar. It remains on my wish list..."Heritage Super Kenny Burrell"

Sheesh, the boys from Kalamazoo were not chasing subtlety the day they shot that one. I do love it as well, but my taste tends to run a little less, uh, azuriffic.

It is difficult to sell on a blue guitar nowadays. It had its moment in the mid-1990s. Its heyday is over.

The reason is simple: blue under aged clear coat nitrocellulose looks a sickly algae green.

I got me one.

Actually, one of the coolest colors I've ever seen is a Chrysler "pale blue" under nitro, that yellowed into a gorgeous (to me) mint (not surf) green...

Had a Blue National Reso myself, once.

My only ever blue guitar.

Thanks for all of the lovely images.

Rutters got me thinking of doing a metal pickguard makeover of a Daphne Blue Strat I have. if it looks good on Surf Green It will look awesome on Daphne Blue

This one for the win!

I only have two blue guitars; Ibanez S style and a Gibson Les Paul Studio Lite with MIII electronics.

[Hammertone]

Just remembered - I have a blue guitar that I'm going to sell as soon as I finish with a couple of details. Anyone want a really Taos Blue strat (MJT alder body, Warmoth Modern '59 profile neck w/ 1 3/4" nut)? More to come in the For Sale area, soon, once it's done.

This looks like my Parker Nitefly except I have black Tele knobs instead of the stock knobs. It is my only blue guitar. I have several black guitars including another Parker but no other blues. Not sure why because I think blue guitars are beautiful.

All blue, all archtops, and all by the best luthiers of the day. Maybe not that easy a book to locate, but I found it worthwhile.

Not sure why but I find the blue quite striking.
sorry for the sideways pic (?)

I have this book and love every beautiful page in it.

[coryB]

Not my actual guitar but I can’t get a picture of mine right now.

My blue guitar is a Gretsch G5420T in Fairlane Blue.



I used to have a blue PRS Custom 24 but I sold it because we didn’t get along.

The Montelone is the winner for me too, but there ain't a dog in the bunch.

I'm surprised how great the Fender D'Aqui story sounds, I like it better than many more expensive counterparts.

Actually, the Super 400 sounded thinnest, but I've played an acoustic super 400, ain't nothing thin about 'em.
