A recently completed '62-S in faded fiesta red.. based on the original Duco colour and then reworked to match the faded fiesta colour on another guitar. The result is a colour somewhere between fiesta red and salmon:

Also heading to the same customer is this beautiful '59-S in dirty blonde. Beautiful grain from the 1pc swamp ash body:

That fiesta is drool worthy. All the little details like the crack in the guard, the way the guard has aged and isn’t just one colour green, the dark board and fiesta colour are spot on. Wonderful work.

Stunning guitars. Surf green ones my favourite.

Thank you all, appreciate the re posting of the images too, thank you. Time to look at my laptop, every time I do an update something stops working!

Mike, have you switched to Dingwall from Radioshop for all your guitars now?
If so, can I ask what you prefer about the Dingwall vs the Radioshop?
