Received this today.
A few thoughts.
1) If this is indeed Candy Tangerine, it sure is dark. I would call it 'light rust'. It's also sparkly...Candy Tangerine isn't sparkly in the pictures on the website. The website also makes it seem bright. The in-person color of the guitar is a bit darker than the second picture.
2) I ordered a racing stripe, not a competition stripe. The invoice says "racing stripe". I got a competition stripe.
3) There are artifacts all over the body. Is this normal with Warmoth finishes? Tiny specs all over the body. 40 to 50 of them. Definitely not part of the intended finish. See third picture, on either side of the flash. They look like pieces of pigment...not black, but definitely darker than the rest.
4) A penny-sized section of bubbles under the finish on the back of the guitar. See fourth picture. Right in the middle.
I'm sort of in shock right now.
