Nice!!!! Love the 10-top flames. And yeah that natural back - love natural backs.

I do have to ask though, does PRS have some sort of policy to not use accurate color descriptions in their finish names?

Tigers are generally what I would consider orange/brown (except White Tigers, duh). Extreme oranges represented by Tony The Tiger, or Chester Cheeto. This guitar is a lovely orange/brown, like a Siberian or Bengal tiger. I know you need to use yellow to get the orange/brown thing happening, but I see very little actual yellow in the finished (pun intended) product. Gold, I suppose, lots of dark gold in the highlights.

PRS Jade is not really a true jade color (true jade has a bluer tint to it, IME), PRS Jade is closer to moss or avocado (using Wikipedia Shades of Green as a guide).

And what's with PRS Obsidian? Obsidian is pretty well pure black, not a dark mix of yellow/orange/green/whatever. I mean, I love it, but the name just throws me.

Don't get me started on Leprechaun Tooth.
 
Congrats, that’s a beauty! Pattern Vintage neck carve gonna get ya! :)
