[goldtop0]

Too expensive for me.
But seeing that pic of one of the Japanese boys holding a body.......wouldn't it be great to pick your own bits out and have 'em put together by the CS.

Pretty sure they'd be made in the USA and sent to Japan.

What would that be Nico? Let it be played for 50 years, use the exact right dye formula with the correct nitro?

They have deadlines ya know???

No not like that, but to use the correct bourbon color and fade it to the green that forms from the blue added in the formula.

But yes, spraying green is a lot faster for dead lines, i just thought he did it the other way, not the easy way if you know what i mean.

That includes 5% Japanese sales tax. Take away sales tax and the price is about $6440. The 20th Anniversary 1959 Reissue has a USA MAP of $7500 and this is pretty much in the same vein for the Japanese market.

He wanted to do the same color as the one's here, or a washed cherry of some kind, but the dealers there did not want that. Apparently, the DL is what sells over there, so after much arm twisting, he caved and did them in DL.

Nico, yes the way they're doing it is the faster way, for sure, but I'm not so sure that the way they're doing it is the "easy way", as you say. To get a convincing vintage-looking green burst, it's extremely difficult using modern color-fast dyes. In fact, I'm not sure that anyone has really been able to achieve that look convincingly yet (again, using color-fast dyes versus the aniline dye fade-back method).

That sounds reasonable and like the right move to sell them over there, because if the customers wants it......

Thanks Frank! Yeah by easy i was thinking faster..

 

[joff]

That looks great to me...i like!

 

[Funkadelic]

I agree with Joff, it looks fabulous. Super top too, we'd be surprised if the right lighting was applied, I'm sure it's in the "monster" league... Red&Die, maybe here's the top you were expecting from this run??
