Foxboron Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Ooh, that way. So you mean he still uses the original Blue for concerts?Mm, I doubt it, I don't really think it's in a very good state after all those years. But well. Maybe he does. Who knows.you can buy guitars for the 50's in good condition.... and anny good guitarist with care for their instrument should have it in prober shape after 15 years.....

I wish I could find the website I read that Blue is too fragile to use for concerts, but I can't find it. And he's had it for more then 15 years.And would you still play concerts where you jump around like crazy with your first guitar ever while it's years and years old?

Sharmellow Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Billie doesn't use the 'real' Blue for concerts and stuff, he uses a copy. Actually, does anyone know if he still uses the original/real Blue for anything, or is it too fragile for that? (something I read when I was a way new GD fan and looking stuff up about the band, can't remember where I read it and if it was true)I heard he gave it to his son. I can't remember where I heard it from though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack96 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 he had a bunch of copies at the warning era, becouse he didnt whant to use blue so much.but it didnt feel the same, so he broke/gave away them all ^^That means he has placed new stickers on it since the 90's Close up of blue these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharmellow Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I did some digging and I'm not 100% sure, but I think the black one says Marcus Tents. I know for sure the last word is tents, but I'm not sure what the first 3 letters of the first word are. _ _ _ cus Tents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justin1039 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Okay so I know this is an old thread, but I've been a fan since 1994 and have been collecting these stickers for a long time (about 94) I actually got the what me worry sticker from Billie himself through a mutual friend back in 96. Anyway I thought I'd post these for people who might be looking for them. Because I know how hard It would be to find them. Trust me I know, I've been resourcing them for 15 years. lol. some are new and some are old and not on blue anymore and some were only on Billies guitar for a short time but here you go. I don't have every one because they are so obscure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin1039 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 And yes he still uses the original blue, only for certain songs. Blue is a Fernandes 59 revival strat. Made in Japan and yes that is the original neck, Fernandes used to make the replicas untill the were asked to stop making the fender style headstock. They originaly had the word fernandes on the head stock but they are known to peel off, witch finding one with the fernandes logo makes them somewhat expensive, around $500 to $1,000. You will have a very hard time finding them. And an even harder time finding a blue one. I found one in England for sale back in 2001 and snatched it up for about $800 US because I knew I'd probly never see one again. Billie put a seymour duncan jb humbucker in blue around late 1994. He had 2 other pickups in it before then. Anyway, I did all of this to make a blue copy and I ended up making three. one is a EXACT replica of blue around late 94. I mean exact, down to the datail of the chips in the paint in the same spots, what I call sticker guts (the nasty looking gummed up spots where sticker had been. I faded, cracked, and yellowed the pickguard just like Billies, Have the same seymour duncan. every detail is almost perfect. I say almost because of the stickers on the back. I don't know what they are of. I also think of myself as an artist and made up the stickers that I couldn't find and there as perfect as I can get. I don't think anyone other than Billie and a few others would know the diff. and would like to think that Billie might confuse them if they were side by side, but I know he wouldn't because like me I know MY guitar. the other two are of diff time periods. both are fernandes but not orig paint I had them painted blue because I can't find anymore. one looks like Billies around 1998 and the other I keep up with Blue as it is at the current time(when he removes one I remove one, when he adds one I add one). all three have the same detail down to the scratches, chips, dings, sticker guts, and torn stickers. I plan to take new pics and post more of the stickers as I scan and upload them to my computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
