2.Deep Colors
Over the past few years, deep guitar colors have slowly started to replace light hues. While it ultimately comes down to your personal preferences, people have been loving bold colors that make a powerful impact. Black, grey, deep brown, and deep auburn guitars have been trending owing to their eye-catching appeal.
It’s important to note that ensuring the right color for each component is key. While the body should have deep, warm tones, the neck should be slightly cooler and lighter. This makes for incredible contrast, and adds depth and dimension to the instrument.
Of course, deviations are welcome. However, your guitar should largely follow the ideal color philosophy that has been trending lately. If it entirely deviates from the philosophy, keep looking!
At Rock Guitars, we carefully design our guitars with aesthetic appeal and the color philosophy in mind. Each guitar is cohesively designed to ensure the colors complement each other.
