What's the deal with this ugly Grosh?

[Glowing Tubes]

This thing has been on ebay for months and months.

I figure they would have spent many hundreds of $$ on it by now keeping it on ebay.

It must be the painted headstock.

I, for one, do not think that it is all that ugly...

I, for one, do not think that it is all that ugly...

Yeah but you got a gold and black paisely Burton. :D

(Just kidding, i covet that guitar).

[esoteric pete]

its only ugly if you DONT like burgundy mist metallic.

i wouldnt buy it, but i dont think its ugly...dons guitars are magic though, so id bet the tone would win you over..if you like strats that is...

[Glowing Tubes]

I figure somebody would like that color but its been on ebay for a very long time. Sounds like they are asking too much or are just having trouble selling it for some reason.

[dkaplowitz]

I don't find it ugly either. I prefer unpainted headstocks, and I'm not crazy about the color of that one. But it's a Grosh. It's no doubt a great playing guitar that probably sounds fantastic to boot.

The price is just a tad high for what ones with really hard core birdseye & figured bodies go for used. That would be my guess why it might have sat on ebay for a long time. If he dropped it $100.-$150. it would probably go.

Matte could make that look like a Ferrari......

[edwarddavis]

I think its a great color , I had a anderson Classic T that color and loved the look of it, regret selling it .

[Eugene]

I used to own a burgundy mist retro...the color is fantastic in real life.

I like the color...I just don't like it on the headstock.

My oh my, that is a beautiful thang.

[mojocaster.com]

Thanks guys. Actually, I sold the Burton to pay for... ah hell, I can't remember which guitar I bought with that money, but she was hot :D

Te seafoam green in that picture is gone, too. The sherwood green in the background is getting new pickups - the Fender set up with the S1 switching... still wiring it - and the Evil Knievel one on the right is waiting for a set of nice humbuckers. It currently has GFS Hot Liverpools, but I don't dig those in that guitar. Not sure what I am going to put in there, either...

[big mike]

Gone already? <sob>

[mojocaster.com]

Yeah, still can't remember why I did sell her... musta been some bills that needed some payin' :(

It didn't sound enough like a Tele when I played it. But I will get another one some day. I loved the finish on it.

[mprvise]

I've seen that Grosh in person - and yeah, I did not find it appealing. Bought a BTC instead, and it's not any shade of pink.

Poor pics was my first thought.

[Tonefish]

Grosh makes some really nice looking guitars. To me, that's not one of them.

[Ian Anderson]

I dig burgundy mist. It was a semi popular color maybe 6 or 7 years ago, but I don't think we have done one in years. That guitar looks good imho. Just needs a better picture.

[aarondavis]

I don't think it's a great looking guitar, but I don't agree that it's "ugly". :BEER

I expected something gawd awful and was greeted with something that was simply a *blah* color. Different tastes I guess.

[Jerrod]

Weak photos and a high price are not good bedfellows.

[Trebor Renkluaf]

Persoanlly I'm not a fan of Burgandy mist. Also, that's a high starting price. Grosh's are great, but their resale value sucks. Look at all the used set necks that cost $4000-$4500 new and sell used for under $3000.

[neastguy]

its a great color if your a girly mon.... :)

Just an FYI - I believe that guitar is actually new, but has been at the shop for three (at least). They moved it to the used section about a year ago.

Bingo -- yeah, and it's pink. Otherwise the guitar looks fine to me.

[jads57]

I stupidly past on a 1964 Fender Strat in that original color years ( 20) for a mere $600.00 YIKES!

[JPERRYROCKS]

the painted headstock is the only thing I don't like, otherwise not an ugly guitar in my book

[Dave Orban]

I think it's pretty cool, myself.

But guitarists are a VERY conservative bunch.

If it ain't the color, make, model, etc., that your "hero" played, well....
