If you guys can't find stock photos of some of these colors, I'd be more than willing to photoshop existing pictures to appear as stock photos.

found this weird custom colour, some sort of horrid trans olive:

These guitars were custom ordered by Dallas Arbiter for the UK market only as a small number special order from Fender in the early 70's.
also, a custom blue sparkle from '66:

I need to add a pre-loader to this but I can't do it. So I could do someone with the flash knowledge and time who could either make one I can import in (and tell me how to do that) or take the file from me, add one to it and then send it back. I'll mention it in the pub if it gathers no response here. There are guides online but I tried to use a couple and failed.

The new Sonic Youth Jazzmasters/blasters come in Sapphire Blue Transparent (Lee Ronaldo) and Forest Green Transparent (Thuston Moore). I have a few SBT pics already but I might use the Jazzmaster pic in a later update.

Nothing new as we've all seen them already, but here's Forest Green Transparent.

Also, keep 'em coming. The more unusual colours are likely to be one-offs so finding a colour code will be difficult, but the more complete this is the better.

A new one...

CIJ Richie Kotzen signature. Not sure what it's called but will look into it.

That one is a US Delxue. Not sure if that's just transparent black or if it's something I haven't seen before.

How the hell did this guy get a signature model? He has pictures on there that appear to have been taken by his dad.

He is a legendary blues tinged shredder. Replaced Paul Gilbert in Mr Big and thus quite famous in Japan. He also played in Poison.

Also part of the GG trio with Lynch and Gilbert as a copy of G3.
