I kinda like this, refinned, roadworn and punished as it is, it has great vibe:

Would look a lot better with a black scratch plate on it.

This is a bit the green I'm thinking about for my project EB0.

I still have my maple Jazz neck with black blocks, my set neck T-bird and the EB0. Three projects. And now I have to save some money for something completely else, but I can't talk about that yet.

The color reminds me of my parents' 1955 Neptune Green Chevy sedan.

But I wouldn't touch this one.
