What's this color called

Post by legionofbananas » Tue Jul 10, 2018 3:03 pm

I want to make my Squier Jag look like Bill's and am going to repaint the headstock, but can't tell if it's LPB or Ocean Turquoise. Also is the pickguard mint or parchment?

I'd say the guitar is old, so LPB (but yellowed), and the pickguard was white... I'd go with parchment unless you want to to age/relic it.

It might be an aged Ice Blue Metallic too making it look darker.

Seen that one before it's nice! Think it's definitely a vintage LPB with yellowed clearcoat

Thanks everyone. I'm not trying to get that exact yellowing, not a huge fan of reliced guitar, besides i couldn't do it even if i wanted tgo cause guitar is finished poly. I just want these mods because i hate sunburst. I might even repaint the gutiar in the future

On a side note; is that a still from a Fretboard Journal video? I would love to watch that as I'm a huge Frisell fan and that Jaguar looks very cool indeed.
