I admit right now and openly that I am huge Apple geek. For a time, there was nothing in the design world that got my heart racing more then the site of an iMac or Laptop in that great Apple White. And then of course there is the Beatle’s “White” album. Well I can tell you that my sunburst guitars are gently weeping at the site of our Guitar of the Day, an exclusive to Guitar Adoptions, the Larrivee RS2 in Artic White.
