Me too - that’s cool! Exactly what is it?

Color finishes are apparently the sum of Gibson's guitar innovations now.

Seafoam is swell but I'll have to say Nay! to the watermelon - even if it is seedless.
Seafoam's sister sirens - no wonder some say that Gibson is "all wet."
Gibson Ocean Water perimeter
Gibson Deep Ocean Burst
Gibson Ocean Blue

Well given what happened with Robo Tuners and so on, maybe Gibson is wise to steer clear of innovation haha

Love the ES and LP Supremes, beautiful guitars. Big yay from me but those fancy looking tops usually don't make the best sounding axes. The 335 I found that sounded the best down at GC was the cheapest one with the most common finish. It was also the lightest.
-
I like the colour but I do know from my years running the guitar company that colours like that are the most difficult to sell so anyone considering buying one of these better be certain that they plan to keep it.
-
If they still had the smaller 356, etc, in that color, I'd be really tempted.
-
I actually like that too. To me it looks like a very faded cherry. Originally Posted by Mick-7

Yes, Seafoam has always looked good on a guitar. Especially a Jaguar.
-
As a lifelong Daltonian, I can’t say that color does much for me either way (at least not in that picture). As to the “innovation” question, this is not that.
A big part of Gibson’s (and Fender’s) business is collectors who want one of each and/or are betting that special colors will be worth more than standard ones due to rarity. The guitar market is dependent on people who buy more than one, and finishes are an easy way to get them to do that.

I bought my '50's home in 1981....Every wall needed paint and was either rose painted over seafoam, or seafoam painted over rose....It'd be like seeing a pre-owned Mary K Cosmetics pink Cadillac in your driveway on a Sunday morning. You know Saturday night out, seem to remember a card game etc etc
.Just MHO, of course. Just remember when you eventually tire of that color, you can't change it fast enough.....
-
If they really want to innovate, they should move the jack to the side where it belongs. Otherwise, deal breaker. Nice color though.
-
I think it looks slick. That said, Im not sure I would buy it. For my old self its a little heavy in the fashion department. Then again, Im boring.
-
It looks great, but if I was going to have a 335, it'd have to be cherry or a sunburst. I'm just old fashioned that way.

The home I had in FL had a pink tiled bathroom with the same tub as yours but in white. I never tired of the color and the installation quality was top notch. I left it be but the new owners ruined it in favor of the overused grey n white trend instead that will soon be out of style and also would never last 70 years. I love your bathroom...

I wish someone would innovate a 25.5" scale thinline. Originally Posted by Christian Miller

The Hamer Echotone (or at least some variants of it) has a 25.5" scale. Several of the Eastman thinlines are 25", as is the D'Angelico EX-SS. Or if you want to spend the big bucks there's the L5CT. Obviously, all the Fender thinline Teles and the Starcaster are 25.5", though they don't really have the flavor of a Gibson-style thinline. That's just off the top of my head. I imagine there are plenty of others out there. Originally Posted by AllanAllen

Kinda interested to know your general location. Mine was in St. Pete FL, a 1947 build, and was unbelievably well made. Concrete block on a poured perimeter footer. Old growth rafters....couldn't drive a nail into them. Lathe and plaster interior walls, solid copper awning above the front door, heavy solid wood front door, beautiful tile work in the bathroom. My bath wasn't quite as bold as yours, more of a shell pink, but the wall tiles, the tiles on the floor, everything, was in perfect shape except the glaze on the tub was long gone. I guess we are into bold colors and pastels cause we painted the hallway bright yellow, living room was seafoam green....exterior I painted in a bold turquoise with ivory trim. The "mermaid treasure" turquoise became really popular in FL in the past few years. Anyways, I left it much nicer than I found it. Here's a pic.... Originally Posted by Dennis D

That is nice - everything looks like it's meant to be there ! Originally Posted by DawgBone

Here's mine. And fyi, I'm near Milwaukee, and FLW did a lot in the area - Chicago, his Spring Green Home, a church, and a few custom homes...

Very, very cool house. Is it FLW? Originally Posted by Dennis D
