    Hahaha - Sick minds think alike! I watched a few videos of the Model:Samples and Model:Cycles and thought what a dreadful color they gave these units, Their marketing team said one day "Hey, I got an idea! What if we gave the customer a sheet of stickers to liven the look up?" and after a long draw on the marijuana cigarette, the CEO said "Sure, but let's not get carried away here boys, let's keep all the sticker just black. No color!" (Then he exhaled) And then True Cuckoo showed up! I used to be a published cartoonist and I've built guitars for the past 10 years, so I'll be damned when this unit comes in today that I'll keep it "Refrigerator Color" like you said! Love the video man - my daughter and I have become big fans of yours over the past few months! Thanks!
