Personal Thoughts:
This is one of those Custom Shop builds that hits the sweet spot between vintage mojo and modern playability. The Sherwood Green Metallic finish is stunning in person—especially with the lightly aged relic treatment that gives it an understated, lived-in vibe.
The off-center “V” neck has just the right amount of shoulder to feel period-correct, without sacrificing comfort for faster lead work or modern technique. Paired with the 9.5" radius and narrow tall frets, it’s a joy to play. The hand-wound ‘50s pickups deliver that dry, articulate top-end with a tight low-end thump—perfect for blues, country, or classic rock tones.
