What do you think of the new sticks ? Blue is weird for a MK strat...But I'm sure I will buy one "sigh"

Don't know why they didn't "stick" with red.  Did they run out of red paint?  Maybe they should have made a nice Gibson  LP or the National instead.

Marketing ! Red , we almost all have at least one... Gibson or National would cost money to create... Blue.. they just change the paint and that's it !
 White would have been better (to me) as MK use a white strat on this tour... Blue... is well... never mind I'll get one too !

Speaking of blue guitars, does anyone know if Mark still uses that beautiful pelham blue Les Paul?

Regarding the stick, marketing is probably it!

"Can't get no fancy notes on my blue guitar" . . .
Yeah, blue is odd, but I'll get one.

Surprised to read all those somehow negative responses to the new blue sticks. They are just sticks anyway, no real guitars... so my first reaction, when I saw the MK news mail at work this afternoon, was "hey, nice, good idea!" It is just funny that the chose another colour. A new guitar style would not have been so great for me because these are still Privateering shows.  So now these blue are the "Privateering tour encore concert sticks". Maybe they will do les Pauls or Nationals at the next tour, that would be cool.

Really considering ordering one stick. Maybe I will wait for the concert reviews first, but the first show should be very good anyway.

Advertise said that The Stick is shaped like Mark's favourite guitar, but nothing about the colour :)
