There's something about a black guitar.

[Jon Snyder]

Kinda like a black Harley Davidson motorcycle.

I like many of the colors but I think the black and chrome looks very classic.

No point to this post..

[J R Rose]

AGREE JON, J.R.

[Jerry Overstreet]

That was Buddy's vision for the original Emmons and still hard to beat IMO.

[Ian Rae]

I have a black and chrome Excel. Looks good on a dark stage where a beautiful wood cabinet would be wasted.

[J R Rose]

Their are a lot good colors and a lot of good steel guitars that sound good but I still prefer Gloss Shiny Black. My first professional steel was Black. A lot of folks will tell you Black sounds better? J.R.

[Ken Pippus]

Yup. Black is kinda nice.

Ken Pippus. I see the Black Mullen. That's the best looking guitar in this thread.

For sure.

[Ken Pippus]

It’s a prize, and I’m pleased to have it back.

What, you don’t like the Zum?

[Richard Alderson]

Its nice to see your collection there Ken.

[John Lacey]

Love your Zum, Ken. I was lucky enough to land one too, but it took the death of a friend to make it available. I hope I can do it Justice.

[Pat Moore]

Here's mine. And yes, it does sound better! 😁

[Skip Edwards]

[Dan Robinson]

[Dan Beller-McKenna]

And one really should have shirts to match at least one guitar...

[Richard Stoops]

I have a black Rittenberry with a dark blue, nearly black front. Black sounds best !!

[J D Sauser]

"There's something about a black guitar"... INDEED there is!

like, it doesn't play as FAST as a RED one!





sorry, I couldn't resist. I love black guitars nevertheless (for all that slow stuff)!... J-D.

Some food for thought.

Color Wavelength (nm)
Red 650 - 800
Orange 590 - 640
Yellow 550 - 580
Green 490 - 530
Blue 460 - 480
Indigo 440 - 450
Violet 390 - 430

Is the frequency of black the same as white?
Any frequency outside the visible spectrum would work, but we normally think of black as no frequency at all. Or, put another way, the frequency is zero. Blackness is the absence of light, so turning on a light of any visible frequency would mean that you don’t have black. White is a mixture of all frequencies; black is no frequency.

Frequencies of the color of your guitar could affect your sound. HaHa

BLACK is the absence of ALL colors or light or reflection thereof, thus NO wavelength.
WHITE is the presence or reflection of ALL colors and wavelengths. IF white looks "off white"... something's already missing.

Neither black nor white are considered "colors", they are "tones"

"Things" DON'T have colors. Different materials absorb and reflect certain light frequencies. Those hit our eyes' retina and trigger nerve reactions, to which our brain assigns the IMPRESSION or "color". Your "Green" may look like what I think of blue... yet we call that "red" because we learned that all objects that reflect frequencies between 650 to 600 Nano Meters are CALLED "RED".

But Black remains BLACK and White WHITE. This is why everybody when asked about their favorite almost never mention Black or White...

But RED guitars still play FASTER, no matter what! ... J-D.

It doesn't have shinny metal, but here is my gloss black GFI S-10 Expo -



I even covered the trim on my Don Blood Armrest with black vinyl.



I've previously owned 2 black Sho-Buds, and 1 Black Mullen. We all know that black sounds better, and they are probably easier to sell than various colors (not sure).

[Brett Day]

I love my Jackson Blackjack Custom-it's solid black and looks and sounds wonderful! It's the best steel guitar I've got-my favorite pedal steel I play!
