I love the Penguins! Pink suits it really well.
Can't find any pictures of a Pink Falcon, I think they'd look well in pink too.

If I got a Penguin, it would have to be one with dynasonic pickups; filtertrons are nice, but my Falcon has them, and the dynas have more snap, which I think would suit me better

I think it would look great without the gold hardware. It looks awful as it is.

Guitars only need to come in black or white.

yeah, the red one isn't as bad. gold hardware on both is just nasty, though.

No fan of pink and gold, but without that shade of hardware, the distinct headstock, and sparkling flakey binding...a Penguin would otherwise be a Jet, no?

Champagne sparkle is an altogether different piece of glory. I can almost tolerate the gold on such a beau.

I like the pink one and this one. It's such an obscure(the original that is) over the top guitar that I think you can easily justify doing a crazy color on them.

Penguins in anything but white look shit to me, though oddly not so with the Falcon.

love when companies borrow one another's colours. heritage cherry 3/4 Musicmaster, for example. the planet's bossest guitar.
