The sonic blue is a great color. It'll make that mini P distinct, can't wait to see it.

Yep, thumbs up here!

I'm prepping a body for StewMac Sonic Blue nitro. I believe it will be a little "bluer" than your example. The various suppliers Sonic Blue varies quite a bit. Yours looks great so far!

Picking up body from my (painter) friend on Wed… assembly shortly thereafter

 

[staurosjohn]

So - my (painter) buddy was buffing the headstock (cause he’s very thorough with his work)… the ‘Squier’ name got so smudged - it wasn’t legible… SO… I just happened to have a Strat waterslide - went ahead & put the ‘Fender’ portion on

Will, of course, be removed if a sale happens - but here’s my (finished) Sonic Blue Mini P Just about ready to install a set of GHS Pressurewounds Also changed strap buttons to ‘full-size’
