Somebody said it couldn't look any more Irish if it tried (a reference to the colour)
Funnily enough because the back is black and the binding is white/off white from the side it looks like a pint of guiness

Price wise I will sell it for £2000 ono

I am intending to get a customer of mine (Greg Hart) who was until recently in Limehouse Lizzy to record some Lizzy tunes with it - recording with his current band Hartless and post them in the players section and on my website

It is slightly thinner than a full bodied Lion so the weight is more manageable.

Oh, I like the sound of that!

That looks fantastic, and I love the green.  Close ups of the inlays please?

Just for you Philly :D

That is absolutely awesome and makes me even more determined to get a Feline one day.
I think I hate being indecisive.

My god. Whenever I click on one of these new feline threads, I know to expect something great, but I'm always still floored. You've outdone yourself again, with another jawdropping guitar. Is that birdseye maple?

Thanks guys - always nice to get some feedback.
Was playing the new beast earlier and it does that John Sykes thing with all the harmonic squealing too
Great fun!

Yes the top is birdseye maple - or rather it is plain Canadian rock maple that happened to have some birdseyes in it by accident.  It was going to be a solid colour guitar (metallic green flake) but I decided that the wood would look interesting enough with a translucent green.
Here she is without paint:


The next Lions that will be coming back from the paintshop will be Johnny Mac's and Catalyst77's
Johnny's will be a honey-burst over that wicked flametop and Catalyst (Ben Martin) will have a silverburst like a late 70s Gibbo

I'd have to say thats the first green guitar I've ever liked, bet it sounds and plays like a dream too.
