The Purple Guitar Appreciation Thread

[Tankman]

At the suggestion of @Sustainerplayer let us all use this thread to appreciate the true beauty of the color purple on guitars. And for variety's sake, purple amps, pedals, basses etc are also welcome.

Here's my lovely, custom made, purple strat:

My wife: "What now ...?"
Me: "I have to make some photos of one of my guitars"
My wife: "You have too ...?"
Me: "Yes"

My Wamoth La Cabronita in Purple Frost. All wenge neck. Standard thin. Swamp ash body. A powertron+ in bridge. ABM full lock down bridge. Some weird wiring I can't really remember - I always use it full on anyways. . Planet waves auto trim tuners. Tusq nut. Dunlop 6130 frets.

tl, dr: rock machine - little dented. Used but (almost) not abused.

Oh boy... an excuse to post the same picture I took for a THIRD time?!
Good.
Features a bit of my purple Hannah Guitars strap, as well.

And for variety... my Panama Loco amp. With purple-dyed Purpleheart on the front, and purple and black Tolex all around.

And of course, matching purple-dyed purpleheart faced cab, with purple and black Tolex!

I even have a purple guitar cable now.
Is that enough purple yet?
No?
I didn't think so either.

And here's some nerd's purple telecaster.
Some Swedish guy, I think? Dutch Padre? That's probably it.*

*Disclaimer: This is humor. I love Mr. Peter Honore, AND his silly purple guitar of awesomeness.

P.S., I also want his kitchen utensils. Very jealous.

What's with the ugly looking double outputs?

Rest of the guitar seems like a pretty thoughtful design.

I'm assuming one of them is piezo.

Yes - but I was design-shaming it ...

Ah!

Would it be weird if I got a purple tolexed Orange Rockerverb? That would be quite the mindfuck...

Here's my pair of purple Washburns:



The MG-740s on the left is in an open C9 tuning I'm very fond of (CGDGAD), the MG-74 on the right is in standard.

Those are red....

Those are red....

That's me not knowing shit about photography or post-processing - they're definitely purple (that's why I bought the buggers)

It was a showcase finished body. I just had to own it when I saw it

I wish I had a purple guitar.
