Now that's a BB I really like.
It's almost like surf green.

Agreed.
To my eyes, better than the original Blueboy or Seagreen....

Really like the color. Like the pickguards also. Looking at that bass makes me nostalgic for my high school ride - '56 Chevy 2-door robin's egg blue/white....

That looks pretty close to the same shade of BB as mine. This link is to a pic of mine:

I wonder if the Bluebursts will become Greenbursts just as quickly.

Mine has not degraded at all colour-wise (though it really doesn't get used a lot).
Seeing the way that one has gone is plain scary!

Did these come from the factory like this?? Or is it a natural aging process like the white finish??
The "greenish" ones you see seem very uniform and even in color. Not at all splotchy like some of the white ones we've seen.
