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.

Re: Just purchased Charcoal Frost Metallic AV65 Thin Skin!
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.

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

Re: Just purchased Charcoal Frost Metallic AV65 Thin Skin!
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.
