Been on the lookout for a nicely played in '66 LPB with blocks and binding for a few years now... Finally found one, but with an added bonus well worth the wait ;D

Phenomenal. LPB with B&B and original gold hardware? What a unicorn! Congrats.

Sure that's not ocean turquoise metallic?? I'd check under the pickguard; if it's roughly the same colour I suspect it's OTM.

I haven't pulled it apart yet, but in pictures, the neck pocket paint looks like Lake Placid Blue. It's definitely very greened out. That being said, an OTM '66 would be a lot crazier, so stay tuned !

I love that. The fade is such that it really feels like it's it own colour now.

I did some poking around. But I'm pretty sure it's greened out LPB, which is just how I like it ;)

That's so beautiful! I absolutely love these unique color shifts, makes the guitar recognizable.

Absolutely nuts! Stoked for you.
What's that huge, green N letter/fairy looking on the upper bout of the headstock?
