What we think… :-
The Daphne blue is a lovely, soft colour with a green tinge and combined with the aged maple neck, it makes for a really nice combination. The relic work is always done to perfection for the NAMM show guitars, as you would expect, so this guitar really does look incredible. The hand wound pickups are sweet and the condition makes this a special piece…love it!
