All 3 look amazing. VERY amazing. I wouldn't mind building one in that color. I don't like the color unfaded (or with a perfectly clear topcoat I shoudl say), so I think I'd like to tint the clear a tiny bit.

Here's a color corrected shot that better illustrates the actual color.  It's really a cool looking color with the yellow clearcoat..

The whole yellowed "hue" of the guitar components is absolutley stunning.

I'd say the knobs and pickguard are still too yellow as the color still isnt exactly right.  This looks like it was lit with incandescent and flash so it's got mixed colored light sources which make it difficult to get it exact without spending a ton of time on it.  I think the darker areas are pretty close though... definitely closer then the originals.

They really are stunning - I'm going to have a tough choice for colour when I get round to building my next project...

aside from black FMS is my favorite color.. absolutely gorgeous

i'd like to do one of my projects in FMS but prefer the aged green tint to it.. adding yellow tinted clear coat will achieve this look?
