The Blue Flower Finish will possibly be available for purchase in 2025. If you'd like to be on the pre order list please reach out to hold your spot. I'm only doing limited builds next year. Im very much looking forward to providing accurate builds of this ultra rare finish from history.

A very special finish from 1967 Blue Paisley (prototype) will also be available this year. A very cool part of history and now owned by Brad Paisley. Look the guitar up. Email me with any questions.

Payment plans are an option. Please reach out to me for details. 

This post CBS take over finish was debuted in the summer of 1968. It was an attempt to create bright, colourful finishes that caught the eye of the generation. Like many Fender creations, it was a total failure ntil later years.

Originally called "Paisley Red" due to its more Reddish Pink, it was available for 279.50. They were only made for two years because of their lack of popularity and problems they had over the finishing process.

They used foil cling paper from the Borden Chemical Company, burst the edges with a Pinkish Red, and cleared the entire guitar.

There were apparently around 200ish of these made between 68-69. This leaves finding them intact difficult.

Fender's finishes today, although great, are more of a pinkish/purple compared to the originals.

We will use pictures of vintage paisley finishes sent to us to replicate original guitars. These are aged, our guitars will be aged as if they were made in 1968. They're meant to look old.
