Does the colour look exactly like what the camera captured?

I know when I take pictures, it never matches.. 🤔 🤣
I don't have the guitar yet, but I'm betting that it will look the same. The pics look like they're just taken with good lighting and no filters. Also, I own several Fender Custom Shop guitars, and they usually look pretty close to the online pics unless someone uses filters or weird/bad lighting.

Looks really nice with those clay dots!
Thx - I love clay dots. I have them on my current #1 guitar (Fender Custom Shop '59 Esquire in faded LPB)

Really nice. Rosewood + Sherwood look great together.

I find unbound Teles a bit more comfortable, but the binding definitely makes the color pop here.
All of my current Teles have binding. They feel comfortable to me, and I love the way they look.

No, I don't use weird filters. Blue never looks the same when i take pics.

God dammit that's fantastic. I know it's a tiny detail, but the clay dots have taken on that almost gold hue and really sets off the green nicely.

Both really nice guitars!! I really like the dark Sherwood Green with the binding.
And I am a sucker for Esquires.

Thx! The Esquire came with a conversion kit (neck pickup, pickguard) so that it could be converted into a double Esquire. I planned on doing that when I first bought it, but it just sounds so good as it is, I don't want to change anything on it.

I have a 70th anniversay Esquire and I really like the sound of the one pickup configuration. Very bright and Countryish. I also have a CS Telecaster, so I have both configuration.
