You didn't realise you wanted a green guitar until...

...you saw one that made you weak at the knees. I saw Greg Koch playing a Wildwood special Tele in aged racing green. Oh Man.

Beautifully elegant

That’s super hot. 

Green is excellent on Strats as well…

Edit: that's a very nice guitar indeed, the thread doesn't need my Electron green Tele spoiling it.

Love that colour! Great looking guitar.

I don't normally go for telecasters with the binding but my god that is a lovely looking guitar.  Very classy.

Gemsdals

Very nice

Nice!  And you've made me realise I already have several green guitars.

theatreanchor

Very nice indeed!

I remember back in the late 90’s mooching around the basement of a Denmark Street shop (can’t remember which one) and seeing a jalapeño green double cut Gibson Les Paul standard that was absolutely stunning. I don’t think I’ve ever seen even a picture of one since. Oddly enough I don’t think I’ve seen another green Les Paul that I really liked either.

EDIT : A quick Google search and yep, I found one and still like it, especially with the gold hardware.

Gorgeous guitar.

Exactly this and to add I don't usually like green guitars but that works very well. Infact I love it. I hope it sounds as good as it looks.

That is lovely, very pretty indeed!

Also as per @stickyfiddle I've been playing a green Strat since the 90s. You won’t hear any anti-green Fender rhetoric from me
