But no one knows why or has offered a logical reason--other than the free flowing pharmaceuticals of the time as a likely culprit. Occam's razor would suggest this is the correct answer.'69 Olive Green Mustang (with crunched front end) Avocado was also a popular late '60s-'70s shade.

Kinda Cool? It is freaking awesome! Love the colors. But no way for this guy; my wife was already more than understanding once today.

I love how colours define era's.
At least it used to be more linked... I'm not certain the "colours" of the '90s, 2000's or now will be linked/determined.
not just the bass, the whole setup is very unique....could even be the only combination like that in existence...bass player’s bass player kinda setup...I do!

Ok, so '01 also. Wonder if they had any rhyme or reason when incorporating it?
It's true - something that old may not work as it did when new. Best to frame the appliqué itself!

That is tre cool.
How about this Ric (out-of-focus pic's, but cool checking) ...With rhinestones. He can't play without them.
I wasn't too sure when I read about it, but now that I see it, I like it. But then, the wife says I have a peculiar sense of color.
I have seen images online of olive drab guitars that I thought looked bland, but in person I actually liked. I think this might be one of those cases.
Cool interview. Berninger (who I like) has been busy. Here’s a good song he did with Taylor Swift that dropped with her new album Thursday.
Spotted a white Thunderbird in this older Wildhearts video. Been listening to them a lot this week.
