When no less a shred guitar icon than Madonna custom orders a few Orange full stacks in a custom white finish, you know you've got a blockbuster fashion trend in the making. Just like Madge's line of fashionable duds offered through H&M a few years back, this new look is also budget friendly. Orange Amps is offering a white finish option on all their amps for 2009, and, for a limited time, at no additional charge.

Of course, while towering white amp stacks look pretty darn cool on stage, there may be a few. . . well, I won't call them drawbacks so much I'll call them "provisos":

• In Japan, the color white symbolizes mourning, so you'll have to explain to everyone their that, no, you're not in a goth band.
• If you're on a USO tour, you might want to leave the white amps at home; the troops might think you're advocating surrender.
• People might not recognize you as an Orange player right away; you're going to have to rock Seek & Destroy at least once every set to remind them.
• Your roadies might think you're making them the butt of a "white elephant" joke and not take it too kindly.
• In Russia you'll be considered a classist, in Quebec you'll be considered a peacenik, in Iran you'll be considered nostalgic for the Shah and in 1873 you'll be considered a Prohibitionist; be aware of your surroundings.

Also, don't sit your coffee atop your amp. These things stain like WHAT.
