Maybe I shouldn't have eaten that tub of Chocolate Chip Mint and fallen asleep during "Beach Party Bingo"...

Here's one to talk about.

Looks similar to Fender's Sea Foam Green. I had to decide between this color and Ice Blue Metallic on a '62 RI Jaguar a few years ago. I chose the Ice Blue, but it was close.

NiceColour, Woody!

Now all y'need to do is take some pieces of an old ebony fingerboard, "pulse" 'em in the Cuisinart (preferrably when the wife is out) a few times, and randomly epoxy the "chips" onto the body . . . .


(oh, and a Ben&Jerry's TRC)

This is closer to the "56 Ford" Pickup of my youth.

Morning Mist Green with Pearl White accents, Small Block Ford, C4, 4:11 , Holly 650, American Racing Wheels and a well Armoural'd passenger side bench seat...

Now I buy guitars.

Mike.. I assume you painted that?

I like it, nice change up...The viper shape is very versital and has so many looks that work.

What is the paint/finish? Something fancy? I'm curious since I picked up the UKII body from Miles and it also needs a paint job..

Reminds me of the Edsel shade of 'the morning after the night before of St. Patrick's Day'.

Iffy - No Soup for you! One Month!

Tal,

Umm, Krylon 3475, Tidepool...

It might not be tough enough but you should have seen this hulk before I got it. The neck is from the White Breadwinner I recently aquired.

I really like the tone with white and chrome.

Very cool Michael.

I like that colour.

I reckon that chopped down Deacon body I am going to send you would look good that colour.

Hmmm.. never heard of those before now but they have an interesting list of devotees http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagstr%C3%B6m#Notable_users

Sweden, home of Volvo, Abba, the Muppets' chef, a large turnip-like vegetable and very wacky-looking guitars.

Nice Green!

I recently painted all the halls in a whole apartment building that color...
When the Little Ol' Ladies asked what color that was we told them 'Cool Mint',
but I didn't know about the 'Sea Foam Green'...

Amongst ourselves we referred to it as Slime Green! :p (or Jail Green)

I looks better on a Guitar than it does in a hallway.

This is totally non-political and slightly un biased...





The last is Koa VXT Wannabe, Celebready, Surf-n-Viper, AJ's latest Viper and the Artist LX.

It was a good day.

The Ovation screws are smaller diameter and break off too easily so I use the Fender/Gibson size which are readily available.
