So the story to date.... I've got a couple of Reverend guitars which I love, but my head was turned by the
Reverend Tricky Gomez in metallic Alpine Green. I first thought I might sell my Reverends so I could splash out on the Rev TG, but I couldn't bring myself to part with them. I then had the idea of re-spraying one of my Revs in alpine green and chucking a tremelo arm on it...
Steve Robinson offered to make up a custom Alpine Green nitro, so I went down to Merchant City Music in Glasgow and took some pictures of the Tricky Gomez, sent them off, and voila the paint has arrived... So I just need to decide which Rev I'm going to re-finish (picture below). The Club King would probably be easier (bolt on neck), but I'm thinking of doing the Manta Ray, because I know I will never sell this guitar, whereas the Club King may eventually go, also it's obviously a lot closer in style to a Tricky Gomez. Wish me luck - I've never re-sprayed a set neck guitar with binding!!

I've decided it's definitely going to be the Manta Ray I'm going to refinish. I now can't decide whether to just refinish the top or the whole guitar. Might do just the top first and see how it looks.
My feedback thread is here.

ETA: Also need to decide whether I can stomach the cost of Bigsby :-O
