My Shots from NAMM

I have more that stunk and my camera is suppose to be a good one.

I like these pics for showing off the colour!

Unfortunately guys, those of us who've seen this colour up close know that it's nothing like in the pictures... Heh... It's a lot richer and more elusive than in these pics...

It just must be seen.

Gorgeous color... definitely something people should see in person before they judge it, even with the gold hardware. People keep giving this LE such grief over gold hardware and they don't appreciate what it adds to the finish.

lionel,

Nice axe, I think it looks great, I personallylove the hum, congrats

 

[Ripper]

Wondering here if there's anyone ordering a SSS one with a rosewood board and nutty headstock?

It will be cool to see one!

I was so close to getting SSS rosewood trem for my LE 08, it was a tough decision! Went with maple, next year i'll do it for the LE.

Daylight pictures

Ok... This is the best I can do today, considering it's raining outside...

The colour is a lot deeper than initially shown with flash. Here you can see tinges of olive green and gold. Excuse the dusty guitar... I forgot to brush it before the shoot. Heh...

Oh, and I changed the tuners...

 

[morsecode]

That's a great shot yet again. Not to mention a great choice of pickup configuration. I'm somewhat jealous. It was a colour that I only really fell for when I actually seen it in person. And with the Koa BFR's and a few unplanned "steals" on the LE07 Blue Dawn and 20th Silo, a '08 LE was simply not something I could do this year. But congrats on a great guitar!!!

I changed the tuners...

Why??????????

 

[morsecode]

Why??????????

I didn't catch that part, but I would have kept the originals.

 

[Ripper]

Good choice there with the tuners. Goes very well with the black PG.

 

[Colin]

I didn't catch that part, but I would have kept the originals.

I'd say the originals are still there. Unless Lionel wants to sell them to me.....

Of course I'm keeping the originals. I just have a thing for Ebony on gold. I had those pegheads for a while now, WAITING for this guitar to come in...

Honestly, I'd get rid of the Blue Dawn and go for a LE08 JP6... I'm not one for blue guitars...

 

[Colin]

great guitar either way...

 

[mb99zz]

The second pix are great, Lionel. Possibly the best pix of this color I've seen to date.

 

[fogman]

the thing about Sequoia Gold that the pics don't give you a sense of is that it's a very deep colour. Very rich.
