dayum straight. I agree. it looks robin egg blue to me. I cant see ANY hues of green in it. we need a good ol' 50's surf green on the next san dimas with chrome hardware.

to me the pictures look fugly. I havent seen one in person. I have seen about 4 different pics of them, and I think they all are fugly in that seasick green. its juts me, I am sure that there are folks here that love it and thats fine, its just not for me.

What I haven't seen in any of the pics is this 'greenish tint", looks baby blue or faded Sonic to me in all the pics.

NO sir. I like a true sea foam or surf green. but that sea sick green is just........blaghhhh.

its like a top fuel dragster sitting on the line with no gas in it.......it aint goin anywhere.

Have you seen it first hand? I haven't yet, but the pictures look promising. I think it looks pretty cool though.

You don't like the Seasick Green? I think it is a great combination of the Sonic/Daphne Blue and a Sea Foam Green. I can't wait to get one and swap the chrome hardware and creme/zebra pickups from my Polar White onto it!

The more I see better pics of the trans magenta, the more i think it is kick ass!!

Sea foam green or 'surf green" is just aching to be on one of those charvels.

Thanks posting pix of them side by side. Thats a great comparison of the different shades of white. Like you said, not any better or worse just different. I think both whites look good!

The PGM's are amazing guitars. I also have the new PGM 401 (the natural one), and it is frankly one of the best guitars I've ever played.

Yeah as soon as the Polar SD-1 came out it was determined that polar white was a bit of an off white, more on the cream side of white. I guess I am just puzzled why it was a surprise when the SoCal was the same? Nice trio in those pics! How does the PG Sig play and sound?

[Big D]

Hopefully these pics will help clarify what I was trying to say. The shades of white between the "Polar" white Charvels and the "pure" white Ibanez are fairly different. When you see them in person, the difference is even more obvious.

I'm not saying this is a good thing, or a bad thing. It could be either depending on your perspective.

Yeah that would be cool, even the white socal would look great with chrome hardware.

[tonemonster]

I sure would love to see a true Sea foam green style 1 with chrome hardware. If they did that, I would buy one immediatly. it would be WAY cool to do it with chrome pickup rings too. that could be a cool wildcard. I really think that would be a popular one. yep, a TRUE sea foam green and chrome hardware. its a winner.

Maybe I am missing something here, but can you explain why two guitars that are spec'd as "Polar White" have you surprised they are "exactly" the same color?:think:

You are not missing anything, I just wasn't very clear. If you go back and look at the SD1 4th batch threads, there was a lot of discussion about how the guitars were not as white as some people expected, they were more of an off-white, cream color.

There is often some variance in shade/tone on different batches - even when they are advertised as the same color. But that's not the case here, 6th batch So-Cals apparently really are the same creamy color as the 4th batch SD1. I think that is going to disappoint some people who were hoping for the snow white look of a Adrian Jackson or a Jake replica Charvel.
