My main guitar'd been a bit faded for a while now.

So I sent it to the builder to have it refinished

So we went with a slightly different color this time.

Will be getting it back within the week

NICE! Looks great.

Is the back and sides Taos turquoise? I painted a strat body with Gracey's lacquer rattle cans in that color some years ago. One of my favorites.

The builder's day job is an auto paint shop he runs with his wife, so the sides and back color are was just something he mixed up for me that I chose
 
Wow that looks absolutely amazing!!

Who is this guy?
 
Assuming that's the same guitar in your avatar, I'd say quite an improvement. It's gorgeous.

Hahaha it is! Thanks

See I noticed how my Tom Anderson's finish looks so good, how it appears to glow in the dark even. So I emailed Anderson to ask them how they did it, if it's not a trade secret, and Tom gave me quite a detailed tip on what dyes to use.

So we gave that a try and it looks gorgeous

That's fantastic that he shared the info. Anderson is top notch and class.
What Andersons do you have?
The top on that guitar is stunning. The contrast in colors, top vs back, separated by the natural wood binding, is super tasty. Great job.

My first Anderson was a used 2011 Drop Top Classic

I loved it, but for some really stupid reason I refuse to remember, I sold it. Realized my mistake and ordered a new one, like 2 weeks afterwards

While the new one was being made, there was that brown on, murky one for sale for, like, 1.5k. So I got that, had it refinished to purple. Recently sold it to a friend who wanted one. It's a great guitar and will serve him well.

So right now I have the blue one with the orange-lined hardcase

Dang, that purple. Same friend do the paint? Really made that top pop. $1.5k and some paint = pure sexy. Very cool of you to sell to your friend.
The blue is beautiful, too.
You're not alone. My friend had an Icon. Sold it, for some stupid reason he doesn't remember. Missed it, ordered another one, same spec, different color.
His newer Icon is easily the best playing Strat style I've picked up. I don't have to think, it's like instant mind-guitar connection, my hands are there. Closest I've ever gotten to playing the way I do in my dreams. lol
He keeps trying to convince me to order one. But the $!!! And he won't sell me his.

Yup, same guy

And yeah. The older Andes are great, but the newer ones are mind-bogglingly good
 
Received it today

Forgot how much I loved the neck profile
