Even with all the other fiddles I have, that Classic in green is calling my name! Good thing for my wallet, it appears to be sold out everywhere.
Is this yours ? If so, can we see real in house pictures of it. Would make it that more realistic for us.
They did. Here's a red one that was delivered to Piper68 January 16.None may have hit the street before the Covid hit. The 59' LP is still delayed until October with just a few sneaking out the door...

That was just an online picture of one I saw that had incredible figuring. It was at Chicago Music Exchange.
I've seen PLENTY of green ones for sale here in the States. You just have to do some web diggings. ZZounds has them right now : https://www.zzounds.com/item--EPIEGS9CW
If you want to see the difference, if any, pull the pickguard or maybe just a knob.I am going to try Dr BGoode's car polish trick. My red seemed very bright 7 mos ago, seems to be warming up (I leave it out, my couch guitar), but do like the difference before / after. Love that green and I bet that would be a good trick for it too!

Here are photos of mine just out of the box about a month ago (seems like a year with all that's happened)
Frets are pretty good though I do have some minor buzzing on the A string up to the 5th fret and a little roughness here and there. Nothing that really gets in the way.
Neck feels good. Very different from my '69 Special. Slim Taper.
Wood is nice. I'm tempted to give it a finish that'll show it off more.
Pickups have a nice bite to them. Great 'kerrang!' off the top strings on Emaj.
I'm really enjoying playing. It's a bit of solace for me as my family hunkers down-though maybe not so much for them!
One of the pots is different. Did you replace it or did it come from the factory that way?
Wow ... eagle eyes. I really had to go deep into the image to notice that. All my guitars might be the same I'd never know ... or want to.One of the pots is different. Did you replace it or did it come from the factory that way?
