Lol the fire place was being thrown out by someone up my street so I gave it some tlc and we'll as you can see it came out quite nice :-)
Seafoam green (looks a bit more like surf from your pic) and poodle tweed case cannot be argued with.
Congratulations.
Lovely guitar btw - especially if you can trim that extra fret off!
I didn't even realise it had the extra fret! I'm still in awe if the bloody sound this thing makes, I will never bad mouth fenders again!
