UVMC color question

[eelblack2]

Did ATD ever use orange in his colors on the UVMC? Ive read the archived documentation here and I dont see it mentioned. There is a tempting one on a "large auction website that shall go unnamed" that has a lot of orange on it. Is it possible that he did a few with orange, or is it possible that a mixture of the neon pink and yellow would produce that color?

No. And be warned, that guitar is supposedly in Indonesia, and when asked to produce more pictures the seller disapeared.

Thank you Rich, I got a complete lack of response from questions sent. Oh well, the search goes on......

Did anybody look at the close up pics of the fretboard? What the hell is all that white crap? I'm afraid it's a glue in fret job gone horribly wrong.

Pretty killer swirl on it though.

I saw this too, it looks as if the orange could be pink but just orange in those pics, I first thought, I didn't know it could be fake, the more I look at it, the more it looks like it could be real.

If it's the one I looked at, it looks pretty nice to me.

[Rich]

The inlays are the correct pink......

[Flobanez]

It says it's from San Fransisco

Could the pink have been exposed to massive UV fading from sitting in a store window or something and created that wierd orange?

[Rich]

Who knows, love the "slightly" dirty neck though [I've never seen one even close to that dirty!]

BTW it was offered to me for $3300, until he disapeared when I wanted more [specific] pics.

That's what I was thinking too, maybe the pink faded to an orange possibly.

[Rich]

When pink fades, it just turns to lighter pink

That is one dirty neck.

[Flobanez]

Weird how it is orange though. It's actually a really nice swirl too.

Its IS a seriously dirty neck. I have raw maple necks Ive played for over 20 years and they are not that dirty. Short of playing guitar with one's buttocks or similar I have no idea how you would consitantly get the neck that dirty.
