shell pink

[Jeffaroo]

Went into the music store today and played around with a affinity in shell pink. It looks like a sissy la- la but with a few changes this could really look sharp. Its almost like a pastel coral. Wife said NO!

Shell pink is BOSS.

Best when paired with mint pickguard. Asbolutely killer look. If i was in the market for a strat i would look for a shell pink one.

I like shell pink, coral, and burgundy mist!
New affinities look nice!

The biggest gear regret of my life was letting go of my '89 strat plus in shell pink. Maybe not buying a shell pink strat will be yours. I don't think I'll ever forgive myself.

I remember wearing a pink Izod Polo shirt back in the '80s (that's 1980s). It's not the color of the shirt (or guitar in this case), it's the person.

Nobody gave me any **** for wearing pink.

Shell pink with a mint green guard is freakin' AWESOME.

 

[horax]

i wear pink ties a lot becuase they are PIMP.

I've had a couple of pink guitars.

Got nothing but compliments all round.

Shouldnt generalise, but ladies love to see a man with a pink guitar, and will come tell you

...I spray bombed my Affinity with Krylon for about 12 bucks...

I hate to admit it but ISquier is right. I recently showed some pics of my guitars at work and most of the compliments went to my pink beater. I thought for sure most of the guys would like my PRS SE or the Squier, but no.

I guess it's because pink is so limited in numbers so it kind of catches the eye and FWIW all of the girls preferred the pink one.

Here is a gratuitous pic of the bunch.

Nothing sissy about pink - my 'little girl guitar' as Mrs B described it when I bought it. With overwound pups in it it sounds anything but cute!

Hey Mr. Bob, is this a shell pink Affinity? I have a Bullet Strat in pink that's a lot more bubble gum pink..a bit too pink for my tastes. Your photo here looks good though, the pink is creamier.

What pink is this? It looks a bit darker than shell. With the pearl guard, it looks outstanding!!

Shell Pink with black pickguard is the way to go!

I've been looking for a reasonably priced she'll pink strat body for a build.Looked at GFS,Rock Audio,EBay,etc.Nothimg at all.Would like to keep it under 100.00.Might just try to find a used affinity.

... It's called "Coral Isle" ... a Krylon paint color ... Don't know if they still make it though ...

 

[mdparent03]

Just about finished mine. Not really "Shell pink" but still very pink.

Dang 1935streetrod that's the bomb, almost looks like an aged Fiesta Red

Me too! Been gassing for a Shell Pink Stratocaster for a while now and I just might have to pick up an Affinity to see if it does the job. This Fender AVRI '56 is the one that's been torturing me.

Here is a project body I got...... well some time ago. I prefer to call it a "Salmon" color

I really should get on this one instead of collecting more "projects"
