6th Batch Custom Colors

Just got my Sea Sick Green last week. Also got a box of parts including a chrome OFR, creme rings, creme Duncans, chrome knob and creme switch. I'm just waiting for the chrome grovers to complete the swap out of parts. I'll post some pics when done.

I am also not a fan of matching headstocks, not sure why either, I did the natural headstocks.

My sea sick green just arrived on tuesday. Of course i am still in the honeymoon period, but I am quite happy with the quality and feel of the guitar. one minor issue I noticed was a slight pocket between the body and the left side of the neck, nothing I am concerned about. I had considered swapping out the black hardware for chrome and the pickups for zebras, but for right now I think the color and hardware combo - in person - looks pretty darn good. Not too concerned about swapping this out in the near term.

Cool deal, glad to hear you are digging the sea sick, it does look pretty good with black, but i want to see it in chrome/creme! Do it so I can see if I want to do it too! I am leaning back towards doing that combo with a candy blue though like my original plan was. Enjoy the sea sick, any pics yet?

Digging all three of these!

Never liked the matching headstock thing, always a turn off for me. Not sure why...

I would go for a yellow black tiger or some type of a hot rod flames too.

Although I doubt they'd ever put graphics on a production model, if they decided to do a SD1 Bullseye I'd buy it in a heartbeat even if there was a price premium over the current $1099 price (as long as it's a reasonable premium).

That said I think guitars with graphics look much better when the headstock is painted to match the theme of the graphic and it seems unlikely they'd do that.

A yelow/black tiger one wouldn't bother me either.

So do you think they will start offering any graphics on these production models?? or will they reserve that for custom shop stuff?

The website said something about graphics.......

just curious.........

Graphic #1: Black hole (all black SD-1)
Graphic #2: Blood drench (all red SD-1 with chrome hardware) This one is the "wild card"
Graphic #3: Snowblind (all white So-cal)

Killer graphics huh?

I shoulda been in marketing!!

That's NOT a San Dimas production guitar? Looks like one, which is why I love the production guitars for less than half of what this guitar probably goes for.

no sir. it was a custom shop Charvel from wild west gutiar store. thats not a production color. If it were, I would own one.

That daphne/sea foam is THE color I have been waiting for. I considered getting a green one, and then having it refinished in that color. This is a dream come true!

Well live the dream!!! Buy one up!!!

OK, now THIS is the sea foam green I wanna see on the USA production models. if they offer this in a san dimas OR a so-cal, I am buying. I would prefer a socal with a white pearl pickgaurd and chrome hardware, but I will take anything if its this color. COOL STUFF!!!!!!

See, that's why you don't shoot tranny colors over Alder... that shit's paint grade. Sorry.

It looks like the same quality wood that Fender has been shooting in transparent sunbursts for 55 years now. A great looking piece of alder still isn't much to look at in a transparent, but alder is definitely my favorite tone wood. Plain Jane in the looks department but she excels where it counts
