I bought mine new 21 years ago and am still gigging with it. I'd have to call it "money green"

I have a LDG and it is quite faded. Which I guess is normal. You don't notice it much until you start pulling things off of it and then it becomes quite apparent.

The best looking LDG I ever saw was in the late 70's in Southern California. A friend of mine named Ross Coan special ordered a 12 string LDG from Blackie Taylor music when BT was in Garden Grove. This 12 string LDG was a very beautiful birds eye maple and finished natural with the logos in black. It had an aluminum neck and 6 pedals on the floor with 5 knee levers. This had the triple raise/double lower changer. I've never seen or heard of another LDG like this before or since. I'd have given my left (something) for that guitar. If anyone knows Blackie Taylor, he could tell you more about it. This guitar was tuned in extended E9 as Ross liked to play things using the D string as a root with the B pedal engaged.

Thanks Michael,I bought this guitar from a friend of mine,it hasn't been out of the case in about 15-20 years and it's color was darker Green then what I've seen in the last few years.The light must fade the food coloring.I don't know the year it was made but it has narrow foot pedals and straight knee levers.I bought it to practice with but I miss my C6th so I may put it up for sale.
