Sherwood Green Samples

[NickH]

Hey fine offset friends,

I am going to be refinishing my 85 MIJ. The heavy poly finish just pisses me off and due to some substantial chips and dings, cuts me occasionaly. I am thinking of sherwood green but of course I'm having a really hard time finding some pics of the AVRI in that color. As i know most of you have significant picture collections I am hoping someone might throw up a few that they may have.

One last quick question, does anyone know if reranch will ship to Canada?

Thanks again.

Nick

I imagine Reranch probably will ship to Canada, I think it's just that they can't send their paints by air. I'm sure someone at their site or at the Reranch forum would give you a definitive answer though.

Sherwood Green .. I'm sure I have a couple of pics at home but I'm at work right now. There's a pic over at the gallery at Higher Evolution.

There's a couple of pics of a sherwood '65 here as well.

A ridiculously priced '59 with mint guard ..

Another '65 in a German store ..

(I haven't included the pics inline because the links probably aren't stable.)

it's a pretty hard colour to take a pic of I think, as I've never seen a pic accurately representing the colour

the guitarist in my band had a sherwood green AV JM and it looked amazing...the green was really deep and dark...I think I have a pic somewhere that is at leat 90% close to what the colour was...I'll dig it up for you....

I had a AV Jag that was Sherwood.

It's one of (if not THE) most underrated custom colors, IMO.

So pretty...

it is one of my fave colours....

flood of pics time:





it can look quite dark if there's not enough light....



in the sunshine....











more coming...plus the most accurate, in my opinion, pic....


*keeps the suspense going*

:d

in my opinion, this is the closest pic to representing, what a Sherwood Green AV Jazzmaster looks like:



I've played this one

[mezcalhead]

You mean with a big hairy arm reflected in it?

[edit]

Just kidding .. superb work as always.



Is one of those the AVRI that you sold for Lecain?

[2nd edit]

Oops, missed that you'd played that last one, so I guess that's the Offset Formerly Owned By Lecain.

[zhivago]

heheh...indeed....it use to be part of the Lecain Offset Arsenal!!

hi NickH, the novaks fender custom colours pages have a dupont reference number for sherwood green. i dunno if you could take this to a car paint supplier and get a pot from them for your refinisher (or yourself) to use?

it is a beautiful colour and what makes it even more desirable is the fact that you just don't seem to see it much.

That last picture actually makes me a little nervous .. the JM is balanced so delicately in the non-tilting guitar stand, and those flagstones look really hard.

heheh...you know, it's odd...I never noticed that!!!

heheheh

cool!

The thing about Sherwood is that is looks totally different depending on the light.

It can look almost like a mint metallic green, or a dark forest green.

I painted a telecaster in Reranch Sherwood Green about 10 years ago, when I knew even less than I do now.  It of course did not come out even close.  Those great JM pics really show what a great color it can be.

Does anyone have a photo of Sherwood Green with a tortie or gold 'guard?  I just can't grok the white, you know?
