Very nice! What would you call the new color? It looks like metallic orange in the photos(?).

Yes, very nice! Interesting color!

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

I call it "inca gold". It seems orange in the photos, but it is a antique deep gold color.bassduke49 wrote:Very nice! What would you call the new color? It looks like metallic orange in the photos(?).

I'll bet the BT and gold look really nice together. Nice work!
I'm also thinking a metallic orange like it looks in the pictures would look great with the BT too.

Nice! Reminds me of the current Epiphone Riviera in gold.

Looks outstanding, almost like a color that was used on MGB cars toward the end of production.
How difficult was the fret board repair at the nut area?
