Here's my Jackson when it was new.

By the time I got it, it had faded to a kind of teal. The previous owner told me he had played a lot of outdoor shows with it.

This color was actually what caught my eye!

My main gigging axe for my local weekend-warrior bar-band gigs:

Picked up this Regal RD-30 that had been under a bed for at least 10 years and was like brand new...
...that is a Blue Sparkle finish that is extremely similar color to the mini-bike helmet I had as a kid!:)

Here is my "Blue Darlin" a Williams U-12 with 7 pedals and 6 knee levers. The guitar has abalone inlay with the "Vine of Life" in the center and all of the binding. This guitar is a pleasure to look at and play.
