I was thinking about having them refinish my avri jaguar. Did you just tell them "sherwood green", or did you specify anything else to get that color.

Guy I bought it used from on Reverb said it was an aged lake placid blue, which - believe it or not - checks out. Aside from it being checked, it has some bright blue showing in a few spots where the clear has rubbed off a little. MJT's sherwood is nowhere near as light as mine, and frankly their sherwood's fairly ugly, but I tend to think it's an overrated color to begin with.

I can confirm the aged LPB part. I have a yellowed/aged LPB Jag body from MJT and it is very similar in colour. Looks like a bluish OTM in most light, and a light green in yellow light. It's a beautiful colour.

oooh. Whatever the color of this guitar is, it's very nice. It looks like the green johnny marr jag, so I assumed sherwood.

theyve also got an ice green metallic that looks a lot like this but also like my ice blue metallic 62 avri after it has naturally aged.

and yeah it looks a lot more like the johnny marr than it does their own sherwood, which looks more like a hunter green to my eye.

So, the important question is, "what colour are the pickguard and knobs/covers going to be?"

Hint: the only correct answer is mint with white witch hats and matching pup covers

Edit: this was apparently my 1000th post, so you obviously have no choice but to...

That looks great!

I'm going have them build me a lake placid blue telecaster body in a couple weeks or so.

Thinking of doing another decoboom pickguard. Possibly the black whistle-bait one or another maybelline. If its a black gutard then it'll be all black knobs, but if its white, I could go either way.

Actually, that is MJT's aged Ice Blue Metallic, not Lake Placid Blue (unless there's a LOT of light/flash involved in those shots).

I'll take a shot or two of my MJT Lake Placid Blue JM for comparison - it's WAY darker!

It looks like a whole lot of flash to me.

Black on aged lpb, or faded Sherwood, or yellowed yellowed iced blue is just wrong. There are some much better choices from deco, for this color (whichever youse decide it is) body, but not black.
