Ed Roman's Favorite Color Is Green !!!!!

The first time I remember seeing a really nice green guitar was in the late 70's.
Hamer came out with a model called the Special. Hamer was way ahead of their time;
They were doing bright, vibrant translucent blues, yellows, oranges, purples and greens.
I remember being impressed with the colorful display at the NAMM Show.
I ordered the full compliment of colors.

They didn't sell too well in those thrilling days of yesteryear.
People were simply to conservative to accept much else than boring pastels & opaque finishes.

JET Guitars are one of the best guitars I have ever carried,
The weight & balance of these instruments is excellent.

Most musicians for some unknown reason tend to be conservative and traditional. I have never been able to understand or accept this, because I firmly believe the reason that the arts exist is to foster creativity innovation and move people in a forward motion.

But Alas as I said before most musicians lean towards traditional values and are generally resistant to change. For this reason the more radical colors never caught on until PRS was able to break the traditionalist barrier in 1993. Of course they couldn't have broke the barrier had they not hired some of Gibson's more high profile employees and reversed some of their original innovative designs to go 30 years backwards (but that's another story). Hamer of course, was not the first green guitar I had seen. Gretsch for example, had a green model but as I recall it was a Vomit Colored Pea Green that really didn't look too good. And it was only available on their cheapest of cheap models.
