Oh, Meester Squirr-el: I've already chosen the aged white (see previous post) - you're right though. the aged white pg/surf green is a winner for sure. I've only dry fit everything and it looks so amazingly beautiful. Fender is selling a '57 RI in surf green ($1,599) but it has a bright white pg and parchment covers and knobs. My knobs match my pg - it's a cleaner, more (possibly) original look than with a bright white pg. I've got Tex-Mex pups, Klusons, and a pointed-end input jack cover (newer models are rounder). I also have a gull wing style string retainer that's of the older design - a little bigger, not shiny, and the "wings" are of a different shape. Can't wait to be able to post pics.
