Their sparkle finish guitars are amazing. The prototype Jazzmaster was previously owned by Norman Harris of Norman's Rare Guitars.

Re: Offset's at Songbirds Museum
Man, I went for my birthday and no one else was on the tour, so it was like a private tour. I got to hold/strum around on the prototype jazzmaster for all of 5 seconds. Needed a setup hahaha, I wish I'd had a chance to plug it in.
Nonetheless, I was terrified to even hold it. Such a beautiful guitar.

Re: Offset's at Songbirds Museum
Sounds great.
Did you manage to get a close look at the XII collection?
I'm still not sure if the one at the top is Daphne or Sonic Blue, and the Black one has some stickers on it or something, or maybe they are reflections.

Re: Offset's at Songbirds Museum
Not close in terms of holding and playing one, but I definitely took a look at them in passing. Wish I had taken more time to look over them. I'm pretty sure the top one is sonic blue though, from what I remember, and the black didn't have stickers - definitely a reflection. Those were some of the cleanest custom color Fenders I've ever seen.
