This kid keeps bringing this into the shop for restrings and so on. Tomorrow, a pickup swap.

Anyways, I swear I've never seen this colour !?! It's amazing !!!!!! Like CAG ?

He bought it in Japan, so I guess a limited run colour ?

*** Photo doesn't quite show how awesome it really is...

Gorgeous.

Dude should be changing his own strings though.

Actually I think he does do his own restrings... I've seen it once or twice before recently. Once with a electrical buzzing issue and then I think he wanted to try out a pedal or amp with it or somethin'.

So I'm not crackers in thinkin' that I've not seen this colour before ? I'll take a few more photos tomorrow.

I've put in dibs, so if he ever sells (probably never) then I'll have first refusal.

It is literally like a green version of the candy apple red.

*Tort Pickguard and this would be unbelievable...

Reminds me of Excalibur. There was this Jag that hung in coda music in Luton for about 3 years while I was at school, it was that colour green, but with big-ass sparkles in the paintwork, like on a supersonic. Every friday me and my mates bob and gaz would go down there to look/play it. Then, one day, it was gone and I've never seen anything similar since.

this is the best shot of sherwood I have. Esquier #1 with Eric's Sage Green MIM standard

even with the sun directly on it its dark. look how it completely washes out the sage green

the maple neck from this made it all over the UK on the back of the blue squier 51.

Seen a few of those in the past and reaction was the same as yours. You don't see very many. I believe they came out in the mid-90's when MIJ jaguar reissues were first issued. As someone mentioned, the green ones were only available in Japan.

That green looks pretty damn sweet on that jag with the matching headstock, without I don't think it would be so hawt.
