I was browsing reverb when i came across this.

It was then that I realized I had never seen a grey jag before.
It looks pretty cool.

Dem refins.

I saw a Navy Blue refin on 'Verb.com. I'm gonna refinish my Squire to Navy Blue.

When I get a VM jag I think i'll refin it grey.

Super cool. I guess fender doesnt really do grey. Ive seen grey strats but thats about it. They should start, it looks pretty cool.

something yellowish would look great against the grey. You can see it with the gold of the logo

The proportions of the body look out. Maybe its the tort guard doing it.

Really not a fan of tort unless its on a black or white guitar.

Charcoal Frost changes color in light from light to dark in different light much like fenders blue guitars turn green or red guitars turn orange

these are 2 photos from the same sale

HNB did a cool grey paint job on one of his builds. I like them and think the color gives you lots of options for pickguards.

I thought the colour was Indica Silver or something. i just got up and cant be arsed to look it up.

i like the color, but the price should be well south of $2k since it's a refin. i don't care if it's 50 years old now. we also don't know if there are any other parts changed out.

I would make so much love to that thing.

I love the mentality sellers have... 'if the date has old numbers in it, then the guitar must be well worth 2k!'
But then again, I guess someone MUST be paying these prices or people would stop trying.

I wasnt looking to buy. I wouldnt have that money anyway, but yeah, the price should be lower

Jeez, I wish we could get a vintage Jag, even a refin, for the equivalent of 2000 dollars over here.

Lets be honest though, it's cheaper than a new AV and I know which I would prefer.
