BigBeatNut Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 Thought I'd post pics of this to see what you think. I've always thought the colour was unusual and it's recently occured to me it might actually be rare and valuable. Anyone know what this finish is called ? It's a slightly opaque red, that gets slightly more opaque towards the edges of the body. Unfortunately this isn't seeing a lot of action at the moment. I'm thinking I might find an alternate neck, unlined fretless, so it'll be more likely be played. The most accurate rendition of the colour ... And a few more details ... Quote

wateroftyne Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 Niiice! I think that's Transparent Wine Red. Could well be wrong... I don't think I've seen one. Quote

Just checked the current fender site and found a finish called Crimson Transparent which seems to be pretty much the same. It seems to be a not uncommon thing currently ... when you say you haven't seen one you mean a precision of that vintage in that colour ? Andy Quote
wateroftyne Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 Yeah... not an S serial. There were a few odd colours introduced around 1980 called the 'International Series' Morrocco Red, Sahara Taupe, etc... but it isn't one of those. It's very bonny, though. Quote
Josh Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 Hmmm I've got the same finish on my jazz, it's nicer than the standard colours inst it? Quote
