Ultralight Swamp Ash Soloist

I see the Swamp Ash sample image looks much closer:

Thanks! I'm wanting to build one with this color, but the Warmoth sample for that color looks a lot more green than blue to me.

Turquoise is notoriously difficult to photograph true. It also will be influenced by the wood underneath it. Blonder woods like swamp and maple will be more blue, while mahogany and roasted woods will be more green (and roasted woods will be VERY dark, almost black except under bright lights, then the color pops).

That's useful info - thanks for that.

Mine is regular swamp ash and doesn't have any of the green tinge in the 1st photo and looks very much like the 2nd.

Specs:
Warmoth Ultra light 1piece swamp ash body
Warmoth Roasted maple neck with bocote fretboard. unfinshed and hand burnished to ultra smooth. Frets were Pleked
Low output 50's style custom singlecoils
Bareknuckle Aftermath humbucker
5 Way rotary pickup switch. I don't split the bridge as it is much higher output and ceramic. The 5 way includes Middle+Neck in both series and parallel.

Lovely! Would you have more pictures to share? I'm close to starting a build with swamp ash body on transparent turquoise and it would help me make the decision if I could see a real one closer.

It's satin finish, isn't it?
