Johnny Marr Sherwood Green color question

[edwardskim]

In my experience, it's darker.

I've had two of them and also the shortly lived AVRI 62 in Sherwood Green. The AVRI 62 was lighter in shade, and not very metallic. The Custom Shop's Journeyman Relic Sherwood Green is very close to the Johnny Marr shade.

Sherwood Green Metallic, IMO, is one of the more unique colors depending on lighting, aging, and pickguard color.


Here's one next to my Metallic KO Johnny Marr Jaguar.



By itself.



Next to my 355.

Always love seeing this

The CV Strat looks for damn sure a lot more like OTM. I don’t even know if what shade I prefer is the right one or not, though. Ones like the Marr and that one posters 66 custom shop dream guitar that are darker green are my preference, but it seems like the historical ones were more of a blue

Part of the color difference is the white balance had to pick which guitar would be truest to color. Here's Oliver alone:

It's definitely the lighter 50s version, which makes sense, as the guitar is a 50s CV.

Oh ok see I did t know there were difinitively eras/versions. Just thought Fender decided to do new batches and kinda winged it on color haha

That picture especially looks 99% like my OTM Jazzmaster

i always thought the squier colors are a bit off to the originals (Burgundy Mist, Sherwood Green). Because, if you want the real deal, you have to pay more

That Tele!

I agree.

Oh man! They are both beautiful but that AVRI Sherwood is where it’s at for me! I prefer the darker green Sherwood versions.

Same here - that there AVRI is the perfect color.

Sorta off-topic but if anyone is interested in selling their Sherwood Green JM jag, please shoot me a PM!

An AO Sherwood JM just popped up on Reverb if anyone's interested. It's not mine. I'm betting this won't last long.
