FS: Stormshadow Custom Shop Tele - Surf Green Nitro

Richardrichard

For sale, my Stormshadow Custom Shop Tele. This is a very high spec instrument, a modern take on the classic formula;

Birds eye maple neck - sanded to 2000 grit, oiled and waxed (think Music Man but smoother)
Ebony fretboard with a 12" radius
Stainless steel jumbo frets
Tusq nut
Sperzel locking tuners
Swamp ash body painted in surf green nitro. Finish sinking into the body like a Fender custom shop
Fender modern 6 saddle bridge
Fishman Fluence Greg Koch pickups, sound great, noiseless and with a boost (see various demo videos!)

A fantastic guitar that plays great and looks great. Fantastic condition as you can see

Have box and can post, comes in a Hiscox case.

Selling for £950 delivered.

Holy cow

That's insane. I wish I had something trade worthy.

Looks tremendous. Only gripe is the crappy basic font logo/text. Reminds me of the RLP Tele I had, undermined only by the logo!

forgive my ignorance but what does this mean

That’s lovely. I might have painted that one. If so (and assuming my screen isn’t throwing the colour) I recall it being sea foam green. It’s on swamp ash and yes, it’s sinking into the grain 

Richardrichard

Essentially the finish sinks into the grain a little just like vintage nitro finished ash bodied guitars, or the custom shop homages. You can see the grain pattern a little in the finish.

I don’t have an issue with the logo, have seen much worse!

Actually you're right, it's sea foam green! Will update, thanks!

edit: Scratch that, checking spec it is Surf Green. I think Rich did another more traditionally spec'd tele in sea foam green.

Quick update, I've bought another guitar that should come in a suitable box so postage should now be an option.

Awesome guitar and @Richardrichard is also a highly recommended seller 

Richardrichard

Bump, this is still for sale but I’m in the process of having second thoughts and won’t be terribly disappointed if I end up keeping it

Richardrichard

Bump, now have box and can post, will come in a Hiscox case

I don't think you're allowed to flaunt temptation on a Friday, I'm sure it's law somewhere.

Also I am sure I speeded sea foam green when I ordered it

Richardrichard

Sea foam, surf, who knows. Beautiful though. Both previous owners have posted on this thread!
