Re: St. Patrick's Day Lucky Green Guitars
My '05 Mexican Strat. I bought it just for the color. This pic isn't very good, but at the moment, it's the best shot that I have of the guitar.
I built this one, an Esquire based on Francis Rossi's famous green Tele.
During the staining process:
With a little gloss lacquer:
Almost done:
I played it for some time, but eventually pulled and sold the neck. It was a bit too boxy for me. I'll be putting a fat V neck on it down the line. I can't wait to get it back in action, because it's a good sounding guitar (S.D. Broadcaster pickup).
This one is in planning at the moment (though I did already buy the pickups). As soon as I find the time to take on another full build, this will be it. Thin pine body (1-1/2"), ebony fretboard, 5-ply white guard cut at a 60 degree bevel. V/T/T controls with a Gibson toggle switch.
I will also be refinishing my white Explorer in Charleston Green, which is a very dark green that can be mistaken for black in certain light.
