Many thanks for the words of appreciation. :D

All credit for the way this project has turned out must go to William Young. He did simply magnificent work which easily exceeded whatever expectations I had going in and I take my hat off to him.

Making the final decision on what shade of Fireglo to go with did take quite a lot of time/discussion between the two of us but, in the end, I think it was well worth the effort and we were both very pleased with how it turned out.

I should also point out that these white guitars have given me my first direct experience of playing/working with the C63 body/neck (and I think William's too). We both found them to be consistently superb pieces of craftsmanship in their own right. It's a great tribute to the factory that they continue to take the time to produce such wonderful X-braced 21 fret guitars and I hope that what we have done in the cosmetic department has lived up to that underlying excellence.
