Here's another (large) photo of Celadon Green...I might have to do this on a '76 Musicmaster that I've just gotten with a stripped finish. It's just too nice a color to not have one guitar finished with it...

I wonder where they source the color from - I think we are past the car formulas - it could be from anywhere.  One thing is for sure though:

:-* Celadon Green.

I think I can do a printout and, assuming I get a printout that I'm happy with, my paint guy can eyeball it. I like the color generally - a step or two lighter or darker will still be nice.

Fretted Americana had it at least last I checked.  I've touched it.  This was about April-May '06 though.

I ordered a custom Hamer Monaco3 in Cadillac Green w/gold hardware - inspired by Gretsch, yes.  If I hadn't maxed out my budget, there'd be TV Jones 'Trons in there instead of the P-90s.

Here's a cool green...on a Tele Thinline:

I usually dislike green, but that is rather easy on the eyes

Yes I know it’s 9 years old! I found this post while browsing for a Tele thin line in green.
Here’s the car color for celadon green.
