Bigsby Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Really, is this one of those light things, or one of those things, where peoples definitions of the things that they perceive never match, because the inside of the minds eye is unmeasurable. Or is it just nitrocellulose? I have no doubt that the paint said surf green, but it just looks so blue compared to the Fenders that I've seen marked Surf Green, of which this would be exemplary.This looks closer, but is Seafoam Green, a conflation I often make with Surf Ach my inner pedant drives me on, I think it looks nicer than the things I think of as Surf Green, like the 1st strat above, but nomenclature and semantics are always worth pinning down, or wallowing in mutual incomprehension.Not fancy a blackplate like the one above? it's affa nice too.Really difficult with these photos, it's a fairly accurate representation , except the photo is maybe a bit more bluey/turquoisey. Also the scratch plate is a cool looking mint green which doesn't really show up, maybe a bit in the second one.Here's the seller's pic, pretty accurate I would say, but it can vary so much just depending on light, inside or outside etc.Telecaster Style Body Lightweight Paulownia Surf GreenAs for black on any of these cool custom colours, no way, gadz min.

Pierre Von Mondragon Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 It looks much more green on that page, $49 looks like a well good bargain too, result. If I was a DIY type I'd be well tempted to get in about custom combinations. Suppose I wouldn't put a blackplate on my classic 50s strat, but I have been considering the anodized gold. I'm not going for it because I got a sticker I really like in Amsterdam...It's allowed, because I've been listening to 'Electronic Meditation' a lot. And that shit was fine.

MikeyEB Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Was planning on going for those, but the wonderful MikeyEB from on here sold me the bridge he took off his 50s Classic Vibe Squier at a price I couldn't say no to... and threw in the switch tip gratis! Thanks again man!You are very welcome, nice looking Tele! I really like surf green. I've got a Thinline Tele that I was going to get made in that colour but I plumped for Sonic Blue in the end.

Graham Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 I just bought one of theseIts a late 70's Peavey T-40. It looks like a cross between a Fender Precision and a Gibson Ripper, which are my two favourite basses so thats probably why I like it. It needs a good set up and some new strings, but apart from that I'm pretty pleased with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatHand Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Harsh times mean that I have had to get in a lodger so my music room is now compressed into this space. I quite like it this way though. Had to be pretty brutal with deciding what stays in such a confined space. Unfortunately 4 of my fine keyboards don't fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Once I get paid, I'm going to put in an order to get a Jazzmaster built for me. Turns out it will be essentially a copy of the Thurston Moore Signature Jazzmaster but with a 50's Strat style maple neck. Yum! I can't wait!

keeno Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Got a fairly standard looking SG copyCloser inspection however reveals the reason I bought itBareknuckle warpig in the bridge and a nailbomb in the neck. Never played an SG style instrument or even a 24.75" neck so I'll have a play around and see if I like it, but will probably just swap the pickups into my Ibanez.
