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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.
