cheap doesn't matter

Just out of curiosity, which color scheme did you get, Olympic White or Inca Silver (mit matching headstock)?

Inca silver w/matching.

Wasn't my first choice actually. But over time it's grown on me. Whoever decided to put that mint pickguard on it was a genius. Pretty cool color combo with that mint actually.

FWIW it's not what I'd think of as silver. It's more a pewter color to my eyes. And every lady I know who's seen it really likes it - so there's that to take into consideration if you're planning on bringing one on stage with you. ;)

I have yet to see one "in the flesh", so until I do, this is what I have to call "Pewter" (well, "I" and my years of art school training say it, but "perceptions" are a fickle thing, ja? ;))

Is that the gorgeous MIJ Dolphin Gray?

Nope, that's a trio of Squier Standards finished in Satin Pewter Metallic…aka "The Three Amigos!" :cool:

But it's funny you should say that. I've been considering liquidating a number of instruments in my collection (specifically, these three and an export edition Aerodyne) and "condensing" them into one Dolphin Gray non-export Aerodyne.
