The Duplicolor name for it is Cayman green... and it is a pretty blue-ish green... but I think it's pretty close to sherwood green.

That's exactly why I crop my photos before I post them. I just remember all of the flack poor sickened took over his messy room. That was some funny shit, poor bastard....

Rule #1 to posting pics on the intrawebz: Remove any and all items that might cause embarrassment, i.e. lotion on the nightstand, Beefcake Magazine, etc...

Wicked project.

Whats up with bed covers and curtains? It must be a great job designing those, you can get away with all kinds of crazy shit and people dont seem to mind.

I just got back from Fat Sound where I picked up some RI F key tuners, and two 500k pots. The Tuners are chrome tips, even though I would prefer the white tip ones, but it's too rare when they pop up on ebay and they always seem to not be complete when they do... so I figured I'd just buy the chrome RI tuners before Fat Sound sold them and then I'd have to order them from some place else. I can't post any pics right now cause I forgot the chord that connects my camera to my computer at my apartment... so pics will come monday.

Also, Aug, I know you're busy and have tons of other work from people on the boards, so would you be offended if I bought a mint pickguard on ebay from Dazbootman? There's one right now going for $24 with 3 days left that I'm looking at. I figured you wouldn't mind since you're already pretty busy... plus that will just give you more time to finish my neck!

That looks great. We need to have another East Coast meet, or at least the N.C. and VA guys. I want to see that close up.

it's probably closer to the 60's LPBs now that they're old and faded, the japanese re-issue has a clean'n'pristine LPB with polyurethane.

Holy Crap, Aug!!!! That looks awesome! Has the decal arrived already? I can't wait to get this neck back! I'm so excited about getting this bronco put together!
