Brilliant colour but, you know, I'd love it even more if it didn't have the reverse headstock. The reverse head seems so disingenuous on a right-handed player, IMHO. Love the colour, though.
Rics ... and some other stuff....

I like the reverse headstock if for nothing else than the smiley faceplate! :D

Would look great sitting next to me in the passenger seat of my Dakar yellow BMW! Quite striking, and probably more of a love/hate than the white or seagreen.

Personally I love it... 8)

It's the bees knees as far as I am concerned. Love that colour. :D

Either the camera or Photoshop has caused those to go a bit neon; they're not quite as lemony in person.

In reality they're pretty much like this one:

More butterscotch than lemony.

And I like the white pickguard and TRC (my false "Harngelbian brushed chrome" prediction aside).

Does anyone know if the woodgrain shows thru the finish?

I like the reverse headstock, sperates them for the others and makes them unique, im not anal about it, bottom line for me is how does the bass play and sound, and whether the the headstock is reverse or not has no effect on the instruments performence, so its a non issue for me.
