Very nice score! Congrats!

Nice. Was it Pearl White to start with?? My Model 6 is the same colour but comes out bright white in cameras :S

[Sanctuary]

The clear yellows over time (and exposure to UV light) which changes the colour.

Is there a scientific reason why the camera cannot pick up this aging/vintaging?

That's beautiful. I too love how white guitars age.

Very nice...i love aged white!

Thanks everyone.....she is in fact all original......for now at least!!!
I shall at some point fit a Schaller Floyd and Bareknuckle Pickups (Holy Diver in the Bridge and a Mule in the neck) as it sounds a little weak at the moment. I was going to leave it stock but I can't use it as is. I shall however, keep all the original parts so if I need to, I can put it back to original.

Cheers

Nice guitar (and picture). It's nice to finally get the guitar you've been drooling on 19 years ago. I always wanted a V and I got one when I was 35, it's never too late !

Excellent score. That thing looks perfect.
