      Warmoth's Daphne Blue looks a lot lighter (and less teal), in person than it does on their website.  It leans a lot closer to Sonic Blue than Candy Turquoise.  Also, I learned that the Delonge pickguard tone volume placement  doesn't fit with the EMG controls.  Therefore, this guitar has no functional volume knob (it's glued on top for cosmetic reasons), so it's always on 10.

Cool. Using the SPC and EXG in my HSH Telestein. Mine is a 4 hole setup and am debating whether or not to put in the active tone control--using X series pickups--as I have read in several places that it just isn't worth the battery drain.

At least your volume problem can be solved relatively cheaply if you decided you just had to have your volume back.

Man, that's just beautiful.  I've recently become a huge fan of these solid, classic Fender colors.
