U.K Stores and Sightings
Re: U.K Stores and Sightings
I just got used to the new FG looking brillant and then this one comes out. This is really oversprayed. Distinctive, but the burst is only around the bridge PUP. Shame.

Re: U.K Stores and Sightings
I dunno...seeing that and the BBR that's on this thread's first page, it seems like it could be possible that Peter Cook's photos might be a bit off?
Re: U.K Stores and Sightings
It may not be typical for FG but it is still a really nice looking finish.
Re: U.K Stores and Sightings
Yeah, I can see that. And it is true that (web) photography rarely catches it right.
It's down to taste I guess, but this one (from the same shop) looks perfect - apart from being a deviant lefty

All leftys are deviant.

Top FG looks in-store, artificial (incandescent) lighting; very low and warm colo(u)r temperature.
Bottom photo, daylight on (rare) bright, full-sunny day. Both seem to have ****** flash, too.

There is a 370 on eBay (with Pithespy) which is slightly darker than the new norm, with a beautiful finish (see pic below) and the conditions you've highlighted would certainly make that one appear darker still.
If I lived closer to Peter Cook's I would check out their 370, then again if I lived closer I would have to buy more RICs.
Re: U.K Stores and Sightings
Chris had a 360 with the same finish as that first photo; it looks great!
BTW, hi from pre-MARF! We have already had a great time and this was just a few of us getting things ready. I already made some new friends here.

Re: U.K Stores and Sightings
I also posted this in the online sightings thread;
Is anyone else watching this one?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0345655629
Seems a bit steep to me,i emailed him asking would he sell the 1997 separately,
but no,he 's only selling as a pair,strange in this climate!
What are 1997 reissues's going for here in the UK nowdays anyway?
Anyone?
