WORST faded, smoke-discolored, finishes you've found/seen
We've done threads on relics (genuine ones), tan lines (related to this topic), etc. We've also recently seen a couple posts about "caramel'd" white guitars, and how the new KO finish available on the Marr Jag is inspired by a faded CAR example he owns.
So now let's see the most profoundly discolored offsets (or not- I dig "greened-out" goldtops too) out there! Show your (or anybody's) sun-faded, smoke-discolored, moisture-wrought guitars.
The first one ('70 Comp 'Stang) is mine. If one of the others is yours, step up and be recognized.

Wow that first pink one is really cool, reminds me of bubblegum. Is it really a faded color? it looks really clean.

Here's my Precision on the far right... it's Oly White under the guard.
It's worn in nicely. I should take some better photos at some point.

Check this one out!
I am almost done fixing it up.
It has its original ash body (stripped, stained and then well played) Mastery bridge, Lollars, Allen Bradley pots. It should be a monster.

That pink one has to be Tahitian Coral.

Not nice! I've never liked finishes that turn this shade.mongoose wrote:
The same goes for ones that turn banana-yellow.
