Dreaming of Builds

[Hagwood]

I haven't even started my new build yet (Delivering today !), and already thinking of future builds. I recently picked up a Gretsch Duo Jet for a great price in a beautiful 'Tahitian Coral'. Similar to Fender's vintage Fiesta Red from the 56 Thunderbird. I really fell in love with the color and have also always loved Surf Green, so since I just got my paint booth and spray gun setup, I thought it would be cool to build all of my favorite Fender vintage colors. Strat, Jazzmaster, Tele....... In Surf Green, Daphne Blue, Shell Pink and a yellow I haven't identified yet. Of course the Meadowhawk is next up, but after that......

Cool concept! I've always thought that the Daphne Blue / White is the Ultimate car colour ( looks particularly nice on a 56 Chevy...)

I'm with ya on that one, very cool look. Would do a white pickguard, pickup covers and knobs instead of parchment I think on that one.
Maybe on a Jazzmaster or Jaguar.....

I told my wife, whenever we move to our next house we're painting all the rooms classic Fender colors. Seafoam Green, Shell Pink, Sonic Blue, Capri Orange. I was kidding but not really.

LOL, that would actually be very cool !! Probably not doable though......
