Yea I originally ordered Candy Cola Red with rosewood. However I just could not shake that I wanted this color and a maple neck. My Std Strat has a maple neck on it and I thought I wanted something a bit "different" in the look.

It arrived perfectly tuned 1/2 step down and the action is on the high side. Other than that the initial inspection showed a flawless guitar. I am taking her out jamming tonight and worry about the action later!

Thank you. I am so happy with the color. This was my "first" choice, however I let myself be talked into "needing" a rosewood fret board and I ordered the Candy Cola Red with rosewood. Fortunately I ordered it on a Friday evening, so by Sunday when my remorse was fully active, I called up and cancelled that order. I was then torn between Jade Green and Charcoal Frost. I thought I might as well go back to the first choice and get the Charcoal Frost. End result I am very very happy. I do think the Jade Green is still a very nice color too.
