I really do need to pick a colour for my pick up as steve down at Esm is wanting answers !!!!


Im thinking Either :

Persian blue

Smokey grey

Im really stuck with the colour selection ?A few people are saying a dark colour will suit the pick up ??


I can't make my mind up !!!

Any Suggestions please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D
If in doubt go with the original colour!

Dark colours can look nice, but will show bodywork imperfections a lot more than light ones and can be harder to keep looking clean. I also like the older beige and grey colours, but it is most important that you have the colour YOU want. I would suggest that you make sure you can see a pick up in the flesh in your chosen colour BEFORE making the final decision.
Thanks Neil ..

thats what i was thinking about , looking at other pick ups in different colours .
but its trying to find them all . I've looked on line .but its not the same as in the flesh .


i will get there in the end I'm sure ! . but i didnt think picking a colour would be so bloody hard ! :D

I had a peek at it a couple of days ago on a visit to the workshop. It looked very good indeed especially in its new colour.

Hi ManyMinors ...


I have lots of photos of the pick up , but i would like to keep it under wraps at the moment until its finished .. :D
once she's done and finished i will 100% post the photos on here .

iVe put it back to its original colour when it was first built on the production line way back in the 1966 s
It looks amazing !

They are saying down at the workshop theres not many like this one out there !

I should hope not too, the amount that has been spent on her.....

sssshhhhh the wife don't know ! lol hahahah
