It's suppose to be more of a silver, but the owner of the store smoked non stop, so it has a gold tinge to it.
The neck feels great, it also sounds good unplugged. I plan to give her a whirl through my amps later.
Best part......$100.00!
It has been sitting in the store for 8 years at least, finally I said "let me take that Dane off your hands".
I also found out that they call the pickguard shape a "seal". Pretty cool overall. Me likey.
