I like a medium brightness Spitfire tort on Charcoal Frost.

Thank you! It will be here next Wednesday. Haven’t been this excited for a guitar in a while.

Congrats! CFM is one of the best colors on an offset. Now you need to pony up for a proper Spitfire tort guard to make it really pop.

I keep looking at the tort and thinking the same thing, I need to pony up for the spitfire. I also love the mint guard look though. Maybe I’ll switch back and forth.

Switch between Spitfire and gold anodized. Find a pic of that combo, it is stunning.

Congrats! I saw that one on Reverb the other day. It looked great with the tort guard. Not surprised it went quickly. Here's my CFM family. Looking forward to seeing pics of when yours arrives.

I figured I’d take a shot of the first time I opened the case. It’s the lightest Jazzmaster I’ve ever had at 8 pounds even. Loved playing it unplugged. Unfortunately I think a wire came loose in transit because there is no signal from either circuit when plugged in. Should be a cheap fix. I was so excited to try it. Oh well, just a little more wait time. It will have spitfire tort sometime soon I hope.

Oooof, what a stunner :?

Shame about the wire issue but, as you say, most likely one loose wire is all its likely to be. Congratulations!

I have a Rexter finished CFM, it’s slightly greener than yours, I too am torn between tort and mint and tend to switch between the two when I fancy a change.

Don’t forget Paolo_Ray is doing great work with tort guards viewtopic.php?f=6&t=119501

He has a few in stock at the moment http://www.lavaguards.com, that’s my CFM in the gallery.
