Nice headdress.

The color chart in the 1997 Epi catalog shows Turquoise as one of the available colors. Nothing else close.

She has a beautiful face, with great features!

And the bass is nice, too.   :rimshot:  I'll buy turquoise for the color - the only other colors I've seen which would be close are the various versions of Surf Green.

Right. The Gibson equivalent was kerry green.

This looks like it has a little more blue in the mix.

Yes, surf green was a Leo inspiration.  However, Dano and various other manufacturers have used variations of the color.  From Dave's post, I learned about Kerry Green.

That's what I call a "win-win" situation! Nice color!
