Unique Finishes on Older Models

[DetroitBlues]

Saw a thread of FB today asking who has H140’s.

One gentlemen posted a triple humbucker H140 in Rose Natural.  

My first thought was a refinish after the triple pickup install or it’s Antique Natural.

But no, the cover says Rose Nat.

Any other unique finish names out there?

Rose Natural has a pinkish cast to it.  I have a H157 I bought from golferwave in that finish.

I wonder sometimes why my H140 doesn't say "Clown Burst" on the control cover.....  ?

My H-535 says Faded Cherry, which is apparently different from Transparent Cherry.   Some of the newer 535s seemed to me more opaque than transparent.

Curious why I never saw that color listed in the old color options.  Or am I just becoming forgetful?

I'm pretty sure I took this guitar to a PSP one year. Not sure.

I loved everything about this guitar, including the black binding, just not the neck carve. Super thin neck carve I couldn't deal with.

What color is my H150? The outside edge definitely has an orange hue!

Most likely Almond Sunburst.

I ordered that one from GC shortly after you traded it in.  Mostly still the same although I did swap the Schallers for Motor City Pickups Angeldusts.  It was great before but even better now.  Also had my luthier do a proper setup and replace the nut with an unbleached bone nut.  The stock one got too deep on the D string and needed to go. 
 

Neck carve never bothered me. It wasn’t as thin as some guitars I’ve owned.  Could stand to be a little thicker but definitely playable.

My 80s H-140 is Blue Transluscent. Really nice looking guitar.....

90s emerald green is the best

During the build Marv kept referring to this as "pain in  the ass orange" but I couldn't talk him into putting that on the label.?
