Which one of you folks is sellin' their steel?

I was in Nashville for the weekend to see family. I was walking down Broadway when I saw this in a window of a club.

Carco Clavera owns this axe. Don't have a number on him, but you can probably find info on him on here if you do a search.

Is this the legendary PINK Emmons?

It looks pink in this photo, but it's actually white.

WHAT!!!

Unless my eyes are failing me that steel was pink. That's one of the reasons I took the photo in the first place. My Nikon D100 6.1 megapixel hasn't let me down yet.

That picture would make a great album cover. Kind of sums it all up.

I know Carco had Deloris Hancock's old pink steel at one point. Looks like this might be the one. If so, it's a great sounding instrument even if it may get some nervous glances due to its undeniable pinkness...

I'd bet my hat that's Carcos guitar. I never seen another one that looked like it ever.

Carco says it is an off-pink, and that he got it from Bobbe about 10 yrs. ago. I've never seen it in the daylight; under stage lighting it sure looked white.
It's still for sale, and it sounds as good as any Emmons I've ever heard.

Yep, it's the one he got from me. Sounds great, looks horrible! (Ha!------>

Hey Bobbe!! Remember me? I was at your store Saturday morning with my son Ben. As soon as I left your store I said, "I'm going to downtown Nashville on Sunday morning and take me a picture of a pink steel" and there you have it. Whadda ya know! Miracles really do happen!
