i've owned two, and i've seen all the ones that flow through ebay.

this is one of the only refin's i've seen, regardless of what the twat says.

good luck with the sale. i'd buy it if it were sunburst, daphne, surf.

But I know daphne blue when I see it, and I know seafoam and surf as well. It was not refinished.
Thanks though

ok...

That paint doesn't look blue at all. I don't see how a blue would change that much if it's a MIJ/CIJ. My 93 MIJ white mustang hasn't changed color that drastically...

if that's a refin, it's pretty frickin good. it could be the light though. incandescent lighting can change the color of things pretty drastically.

It actually could be the camera as he says. And I've actually seen a daphne blue strat aged to something like surf green - it was hanging in the store for like three years under the sun, so just front of it aged and back remained intact so you could "A/B" colour difference. It might be really true.

I had a sonic blue Jazzmaster, then sprayed it with tinted clear nitro. It went this colour.

How old is this guitar? The olympic white on my 16 years old japanese Jazzmaster has not aged into anything but a little dirtier olympic white I know that daphne blue can look odd when it's photographed, but I've never seen it look that green. No matter what, that guitar is not a collector's piece. So if anyone likes the colour, no problem if it's a refin or not. But the price seems a little high, doesn't it? This looks more like a 500 $ / € guitar to me.

It doesn't look right, but maybe he will let you see under the pickguard.

I vote SLOAN and SLOAN only.

i guess this is kinda what i was getting at. i'd pay $500-600 for one that was in excellent shape and obviously not refinned.

I love that. Sorta surf green but not to full on.

i personally like the green

robroes old musicmaster changed color alot! there was a pickguard shot one time that showed the difference, and my j.s. has FINISH CRACKS! poly is not supposed to finish crack but my j.s. did.
and the color has changed alot since i bought it back in 98

Poly cracks because of temperature changes, for sure. I konw this because I opened m fucking frozen telecaster in the house and watched the finish split. Your JS probably grew a crack bit by bit coming in form the car in the winter or whatevs. Or from you banging on it hard like its a ten dollar whore.

I can't decide if i like that green or not.

Definitely doesn't look like Daphne Blue though.
