Yep, just a pickguard for a future project. I'll message you when I get to it in the coming weeks.
Cool, no problem at all!

Love this thread! I posted the strats elsewhere but this is a nice spot for them, too.

Surf green, mystic surf green, OTM, and aqua flake.

I just remembered that I finally took some decent pics of my Sage Green Metallic Bronco/Jag. It's not the greenest green, but it's still green.

This thread is the reason I’ve gone and ordered two different Sherwood green projects; a bound tele and a Jaguar. Going to be awhile to get them up and running though.

I made some changes to my one green offset, so I figured I would post it again.

Love it!
How do you like the Surf180s?
And what kind of green tone is this? Somehow close to that Mystic Seafoam Fender put out a while ago.

Thanks! The paint is Duplicolor Hampsted Green Metallic, which is an old Honda color, apparently. It has a bit of a yellowed IBM vibe in person.

I’m digging the Surf 180s. They’re really articulate and punchy, so they have a beefy single coil feel to them, but no hum.

You did that with a rattle can!? Impressive!
The last time I had any real luck with a can it was that exact version of duplicator - also a metallic. I think they adhere better for some reason.

Nice, thank you very much!
Also: well done for the spraying!
I got enough Offsets with PAF sized pickups for now - but somehow I prefer the aesthetics of the 180s over the 90s that I have in my VM Jag. And what you describe does sound desireable… maybe one day! :)

Thank's Lvc,
I have found this tint on a hot priced prs with a flamed mapple top if i remender right, i wanted to reach this visual with a cheapo white wood and this poplar body from guitarbuild was perfect no black or
strong greeny grain, lucky... :w00t:
