'73 Mocha P currently on eBay (no affiliation)
I had a 1975 Mocha that looked like that. But, sadly (in retrospect) I turned it into this.

There is no noticeable scratches or dirt
After the body is naked- it is painted with all lacquer.
The rough process was to make it naked- then sanding coloring the fabric primer 2-tone sunburst gold glitter clear yellow clear.
Imagine the moment when a worn-out 2-tone burst precision bass magically turns into gold.
As for the color itself- I wanted to make a J model grayish glitter specification preve- but I could not help making it the same- so I made it with champagne gold.
Immediately after the completion of this Preve- the J model champagne gold model was announced by the head family.
However- since this is a relic specification- it reproduces the color of champagne gold burnt.
In terms of sound quality- it is exactly Preve.
There is a rocky sound.
It is an image of an open sound with an ultra-thin lacquer finish when dried and layered.
Its not a versatile moist bass like jazz bass.
If the jazz bass sounds like the texture of Baumkuchen- this is an unboiled broccoli.
Its not something that a bad boy in that area can play.
The neck condition is also in place- and the string height can be set with a wide adjustment range and without any lowering.
Easy to play.

I get the regret but still...I really like that. It's really cool in my book.

Reminding me of Eldon Shamblin's famous '54 Strat.

I don't mean to mock their inability to translate from Japanese to English, but it is very funny. It reminds me of Zippy the Pinhead who always said obtuse/abstract things.

Woh! Good connection - I don't know the background story on that guitar but it seems clear there is a reference.
Was given to Eldon by Leo Fender in 1954. Probably the first ever custom color Strat. I believe it was using metal dust in lacquer like with the Les Paul goldtops - hence the green. Pretty much a Holy Grail instrument in the vintage world.
