Yellow Pippin.
This is the very first Pippin ever made. Its
yellow finish is similar to the type originally
created by guitar manufacturers during the early
days of black-and-white television. During
broadcasts, its yellow color produced a desirable
high contrast against a performer's dark suit.The
finish, created by a bleaching process using
caustic lye, is rather nasty to apply, but
nevertheless is a very attractive yellow.
