Very nice!

Just out of interest, why "obvs" for the (Lake Placid) blue?

Ha, good question! I've got a bit of a reputation for liking blue guitars a bit too much! - http://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/100707/blue-guitars

I only own three now, but they're all blue! I need to update that thread with this one :-)

Fair enough!  I like blue guitars too, I ordered my CS Strat in a shade of blue although it looks much darker, almost black.

Nice mate, do you have it yet or is it on the way? Please post a picture in that thread if you can, I'd love to see it :-)

I've had it a couple of years but I struggle a bit with the technological demands of posting photos.... it's a hardtail, '70s style big headstock, maple board, with a '54 U profile neck and Ancho Poblano pickups.  In a tribute to my long-gone late-'80s Strat Plus Deluxe, I chose Gun Metal Blue for the finish.

That sounds awesome, man! :-) Very cool!
