    Heh. Entirely unintentional (I think - maybe it’s subconscious?). In 1990, I originally ordered a Clapton Strat in Midnight Blue, but it was taking so long I asked what they had in stock, and they had that Frost Red one, so I took that instead. I really wanted a blue Rickenbacker, but couldn’t find one on Reverb that I like (no chips or wear), so I ordered new from Sweetwater, and I liked Fireglo better than Jetglo or Mapleglo. The Ultra Strat - I really wanted an ash body, and that was the nicest color in the series with an ash body. I guess the red theme just sort of happened…

      Lemme guess, you wanted blue paint for the walls but you didn’t want to wait so you took red instead?

      Haha as long as you don’t feel like you settled, those are all wins!

        lol. Actually, that’s my son’s room that I turned into my mancave when he left for college. I’m just too lazy to repaint it…. :)
