That's cool! There was a seafoam green one at Dave's that made my pants wiggly. I should have nabbed it. Enjoy!It’s an Ibanez Artcore.

Really. It appears to be a sub-standard DIY job and trans-purple frankly isn't a top 5 favorite colour of mine. And I am one of those folks who pays a skilled finisher to do a 'relic' finish.(and I do them myself)
Like this one by MJT - yah, I know.., Burgundy Mist Metallic is a variant of purple/pink/lavender... but any colour can be cool in the right hands. (and eyes)

Is the striping on that the finish or tiger maple top? Looks cool.

It's finish 'checking' as seen on (actual) vintage nitro aged finishes - caused by nitro shrinking over time (through natural cold/heat/time usually) but can be 'invited' to occur on a new nitro finish with a combination of effected cold and heat. MJT does standard finishes, but specializes in relic finishes to whatever degree one wants. I'm a journeyman finisher myself and offer a 'relic'/distressed finish as an option. (and I'm good at it) I had one done by them as I've seen nice examples of their work here on tb and wanted to see what they do, for my own professional reference. I was very pleased with their whole operation/process and communication related and I was happy with the final product. (as you can see - very authentic and skillfully executed) All of that is how I also do biz and it was a valuable reference for me. (money well spent) Also, I don't mind kudos to those who deserve it even (as I stated) I'm in the same biz. (credit where credit due & all) We're all in the same biz - no need to go negative as everyone has their own unique take ... on anything!

Bob Dylan, from The Basement Tapes (great LP - can't recall the exact song now) ...anyway, the line goes - "...slap me with a fish that smells"
(love that line and have used it many times since hearing it!) Looked for the song on YouTube but there is a "new-unearthed" Basement Tapes and it makes accessing the original LP songs nearly impossible. (the internet~
) Will need to re-listen to my (actual vinyl!) LP and repost the song when I find it.

I went with MJT after seeing many examples of their work. Relic'ing requires skill/technique and a good eye and it's pretty obvious when that is happening, or not.
2 of the finest beasts of my modest collection.
Fender Postmodern Precision

Fender 1975 AVRI Jazz
Lifetime keepers.

Yes, that is correct, it is a Music Man Cutlass. Very cool bass if you happen to have the chance to try one, I highly recommend it.
Holy moly you have to do the sapphire blue sparkle, that's going to look spectacular.

I have an obsession for wood. The musical kind.
My tools of the trade are a Kiesel Icon, the newest addition to my arsenal, and then there's the gigging workhorse, my trusty Carvin B5. Their colors are British Racing Green and Greenburst. I wish the knobs on the Icon would look more brown/orange in pics like in person, instead of towards red...oh well, can always change 'em!
