Ooft that Orange is nice.

Green!




Quite a nice colour lineup for this batch!

I've been thinking how good a green 'Debut' would look with a black scratch plate, kind of like the Fender Thurston Moore jazzmaster colour way. And then you share picture of a green model  

A green Debut with a black anodised scratch plate... yum   (I know you aren't doing customised Debut models Elliot, don't worry )

@benga I can certainly do a green debut with a black scratchplate for you!

No, no, no, NO, NO

That’s really upset my OCD now - the hooks aren’t all facing the same way!  Where’s the attention to detail?

Love it, will definitely be green for me when I can get the funds together. Mind you, I’ll have to go for the full fat version, I want the gloss finish and a strat trem (or les trem)…and possibly even three p90s.

Awesome! How are you wiring it, five way switch with middle pickup rwrp? I had that in a NR firebird that I had to sell when we unfortunately needed the funds -was a wonderful sound and very versatile.

Whoever is buying that needs to do us all a demo, would love to hear the tonal possibilities.

It's me 

Yeah I'll be posting plenty of pics and clips when I get it! I can't wait!

I’ll look forward to the ngd and review @TwoSpellWizard; you’ll have a cracking guitar, these look amazing.

@benga I can certainly do a green debut with a black scratchplate for you!

It’s on the wish list 

I have a jazzmaster itch I need to scratch first though.

@TrentGuitars I love the look, craftsmanship and ethos behind your guitars. As someone who works in copywriting/branding etc., I wonder whether you could play on the environmentally-friendly /sustainable angle more? It's certainly something the chaps on here (including me) love.

Given that your finishes are water-based and you're near the coast, maybe your models/colours could be things like 'tide', 'wave', 'marine', 'float', 'Solent', 'shore' etc. I know another company has done surf green, shell pink etc., but you know what I mean.

The water-based finish is a real USP and it would be good to play on it IMO. Just some thoughts from a fellow-fretboarder who would love to see you do well.

Heck, even the Trent is a river!
