Kevin,
She's a beauty. The shading reminds me of several of your othe FG guitars, especially one of you 360v64s.

There is a Desert Gold out there, Dave had a Monty or two, and there WILL be some BBR's and some AFG's going to forumites.

Have not seen one in Sea Green, Burgundy, Blue Boy, MID, White, or Turquoise - doesn't mean they're not out there!

Mine is from 1997 and has some birdseye in the maple but not as much as Jason's.

It was at a music store in Michigan for a very short time and I was lucky!
