I had to look twice to see it was actually CAR....it looks like some sort of metallic fiesta red in the pics

Beautiful guitar, congrats!

I'm not usually a fan of that colour combination, but that's one of the most beautiful Jags I've ever seen.

Absolutely gorgeous! Very unusual CAR though. What had to be done to get the finish that shade?

Looking at the CN colours... it is very close to his CAR samples

^That's what I thought upon reading all the posts here.

Whateve kinda CAR it is, it's a tasty looking guitar. Bet it plays fantastically too.

Ha! No, it doesnt actually! :) It has a replacement nut that is atrocious... badly spaced... and the bridge skips strings like no tomorrow. Soooo... new nut job and Mustang bridge in the near future. I dont have enough posts to look at the Buy and Sell so if anyone has a cheap Mustang bridge... let me know! :)

Maybe when it got its refin the dude forgot to put the shim back in? Lovely guitar in any case.

Nah, shim is there, I checked. I have 11s on it (as with my JM) but the low still pops out of the slots very easily... my JM however is just fine with the stock bridge.
