If you look at the second picture from the bottom, you can see a bit of the sonic blue on the back of the guitar. It has faded in most places but you can still see some blue near the edges..
Anyway, anyone else welcome to make enquiries. Cheers
The sonic blue certainly seems to have changed colour somewhat...is it my eyes or is this guitar green?
Yes this is the one in the gallery on probett's website. The most accurate colour I'd say would be "duck egg", like a mix between pale blue and green. More green now though.
I certainly wasn't trying to be in the least bit negative about your guitar; my apologies if that's how I came across.
I wish you well with the sale.
