Red face ...OK, who let Keith get into the old paint stocks????

This one is utterly badass!

I think I like this even more than the pale moon ebony one.


The other two are really cool too, the goldburst is very unique, but this, incredible...... truly incredible......

Wow the Aqua one, looks very close in colour to my Roscoe Beck!


maple fretboard... do it...



The Electric Blue is certainly swanky too...




Still, I think I like the 80's wildchild best....

If you somehow, accidentally, coincidentally, by chance, happened to maybe have some extra, tiny, drop even, of candy apple to slightly, kindof paint the headstock matching a little, it would be a million kinds of awesome....










I know, not possible on a Standard, but it would be sweet.

Actually, and hopefully Joe dosen't hear me, but.....



I'd prefer chrome on CAR.........





But then, I have a mirror pickguard on my CAR bass... so maybe I lack taste.... or have awesome taste, I can never remember which...
