It’s listed as “tr blue” on the label. That’s a super nice guitar I bet it sounds great too!

Blue really shows up those major cracks!

this the Sebatron...

Thanks I got a new preamp in the house, a Sebatron VMP2000VU, I use the 4 channel version of this in my studio, although my studio one doesn't have the VU meters. I don't think there's better multi-use tube preamp for home and project studio use. I love it on everything. All the drums you heard from my studio were through the Sebatron. And it sounds great on bass and guitars too. I recorded a cleaner and slightly longer version of this song with my Jaguar through the same mics and pre...

those blue hollowbodies look fantastic

nice amp, congrats!

btw that cliop sounded really good!

Yours is a dark blue but is translucent, but it should say on the label. The appearance depends on lightling. There probably is a name like Neptune blue. Skydog's is a blue burst. Mine is called translucent blue. But look at the two pics with different lighting. Some finishes make no apologies for looking unnatural. Blue, black, white, green, red, gold and silver are examples.

Congrats, and as Rich said glad it turned out great for you!

well that's a great idea!

He's also a fine guitar player, and as such adds such useful touches to the designs; for example the footswitch for the Drive King has two 9v outlets for powering pedals.

nice picture, when I contacted 633Eng he demonstraed to be reliable and a very down-to-earth man that amplifier is one of the best in the UK in my opinion thanks for sharing your story, enjoy the great tone

Congrats on the new guitar. I'm glad that it wasn't any kind of scratch or crack. A slight nick or ding isn't a structural issue. The fact that it plays and sounds good is the real issue. There really isn't any other reason to have a guitar unless you want wall art! Enjoy!

Congratulations on your new guitar purchase, it's a beauty. A great deal is when the buyer and seller agree on a price. I would not have walked away from that guitar purchase over a few dollars, enjoy.

In the long run, the money difference doesn't matter when you find the right guitar. It saves time and anxiety plus increases goodwill just to pay a little more. You won't find another one just like that for a very long time.

Large crack alert!!!

Congrats!! that is a really nice 555!

haha, yes, Wolfetone pups are the bomb!!

@Teaky...Congratulations on your beautiful H555!!!

I was joking yeah I paid asking price, was able to negotiate an extra $20 for a pedal I traded in though (woo for the small victories). I totally botched any haggling when I enthusiastically said I’ll buy it immediately after playing it. Anywho, I know all anyone cares about at this time is a picture so I’ll oblige. Lighting isn’t great, the blue isn’t as dark as it seems.

I took it that they settled on the original asking price of $2700. Art of the deal!

It's a beauty but I'm confused, you paid more than he was originally asking?

Went to check it out today and sure enough it was just the reflection overall it was in great shape albeit with some scratches and dings and most importantly it sounded great! Plays great too! I offered $2,500 and he countered with $3,000 so I said sold!

I almost sold mine, but it was too good sounding after I put the Wolfetone pickups in it (Dr Vintage neck, Marshallhead bridge), and when I changed out the switch, I put new CTS 500K pots in , Sozo .022 cap, all new cloth pushback wire, and a switchcraft jack, so it's good to go!

yeah, I sold mine
