stumbled across this photo...

That was probably taken at the factory tour during the 75th Anniversary celebration ... I think I have a similar picture somewhere ...found it!
There were a few test finish samples on the bench when we went through, and that was one of them.

I'm all for seeing a green burst, but that one's just strnage!

If by strange you mean stunningly gorgeous, then I have to agree. There are pictures floating around of that built up, with a pretty extraordinary guitar stand, IIRC.

Hehehehe

Yeah that guitar stand is nice

i like the finish. i'd just like to see their color transitions a little less harsh.

It might be a softer transition, photographing bursts of any kind usually come out "harsher" than reality.

yeah, but even most of the FGs and the like have a sudden transition.

Tis' true!

Double-bound, too. COOL!

Yeah that one is a little dramatic and therefore will never see the light of day as a COY.

And it's a completely different guitar than the one with the..ahem.."Guitar Stand". Different green altogether.

Does that mean the built up green burst might be a future COY candidate?

Highly doubtful...But never say never.

In fact, we're VERY close on what the next COY will be.
