Wow... this axe is definitely on my list of drool worthy. Nicely done sir!

Yes, autumn sky. The finish is hard to photograph and it varies wildly depending on lighting conditions.
BTW, this guitar is virtually a Les Paul with slight quality of life tweaks and draconian QC applied. Definitely sounds and feels like one and that's exactly what I wanted. -
After deliberating about whether or not I could get close to the Custom Shop experience with a less expensive model - a question I asked on a few forums a week or so back - I decided that I would take the plunge on a Fender Custom Shop and I'm glad I did too, it's an amazing, amazing guitar!
A few people convinced me that buying something I liked straight off the shelf would be a worthwhile thing to do given the wait and relative risk
involved in ordering your first custom instrument so I foudn a good spec I liked and bought fairly local.Considering this is the most I'd ever spent on a guitar I'm over the moon with it and have written some thoughts about how I think it compares to my old Suhr and why I sold the Suhr on and bought this one, which you may/may not be interested to read - there's some specs and also a few nice pics in there too of the new one and the old one!

I think it has something with my Mac. I can see it on my office PC.
It's an oldie but goldie. The meme is from The Wolf of Wall Street, where those guys are laughing.

I would rather say, it has something to do with browser, not device, @nightlight. Are you using Safari? Try chrome or firefox.

True that! Don't think I'll switch browsers though, I like the ad blocker. -

Cool! Real shred machines. Post some pics when it's in your hands.
Got my new guitar!!!
Been waiting since January for this one to arrive from Japan and I couldn't be happier. It's my first proper floyd equipped beast and it sounds and looks incredible.
Bit of a story behind this one, in that my mate met the owner of Caparison, who some of you may/may not know is also the owner of Cranes music stores in South Wales. So I managed to get one piece of a very limited run of Horus guitars in this now discontinued colour and finish. I've spent over two years looking for one with a 'Black Rose' finish as the one I had my eye on sold before I had chance to buy it. Needless to say, I'm absolutely extatic that the gentlemen at Caparison helped this become a reality for me.
I've written about it all on my blog for anyone interested - specs and more photos on there too...
