Turquoise or Emerald Green?

[FatFingerBlues]

Sorry for not getting pics up quicker, just got home after being gone for 2 weeks and had a lot to do. 2nd pic is what I based my order off of from Sweetwater. 1st is what i got, its a lot greener in person than in the pic. After looking at them side by side I'm probably just being to nit picky.

Thats not emerald green to me
its definitely a shade of Turquoise
Close to the Sweetwater photo

but it's Sweetwater
Talk to your rep
and if you don't like it
SEND IT BACK

That's the nice thing about Sweetwater

Heres a better pic, The pics just doesn't show how green it actually is.

 

[Aahzz]

Oh, you showoff!!!

Why, just because I happen to have the perfect guitar to show what Emerald looks like?

I'd definitely call that turquoise. From the grain on top it appears to be the same guitar from the Sweetwater pic, so if you get it into bright light it should look closer to the pic.

 

[Aahzz]

Still, if you really dislike the color, you should be able to return it to Sweetwater - we like what we like, and all that matters in the end is your opinion of the color.

it would be a shame to return that over color
its got beautiful grain for an SE

Nothing Green About That Guitar To My Eyes And What I Know Both Colors To Be On PRS Guitars. Still...You Should Be Happy With Your Purchase And If The Color Is Really Bothering You Then I Would Send It Back And Get A Different Color That You Like Better. Most Important Though Is How Does The Guitar Play? If It Is Out Of This World I Would Keep It And Deal With The Color Issue That You Have With It Personally. If The Guitar Is Meh As A Player Then All The More Reason To Exchange It For Another One. Good Luck In Your Decision And In The End I Hope You Are Completely Satisfied With Everything.

That’s blue

That definitely looks like turquoise to me. Sweetwater's pics tend to make things look lighter/brighter...

 

[DISTORT6]

Just return it.
You don’t like it and it’s going to bother you until it’s gone.

I owned this '99 CU22 Soapy, which was Turquoise:

That’s blue

There's the test - if Sergio would own it, it can't be blue.

Looks like turquoise to me - but as has been said, lighting plays a huge part. My PS pics don't look like the pics Brian took of the same guitar. All on the lighting.

 

[Glide-bpm]

Yeah, that looks like a turquoise in all of the pics except Emerald boy... LoL!!!

Probably very lighting temperature and brightness influenced sensitive...

 

[SinSir]

That's a matter of lighting - if you put it under a bright photographer's light, it'll look like the pic. Either way, I'd definitely call it turquoise. For contrast, this is my Emerald:

Thanks Aahzz! I came here looking to see an emerald green guitar and you delivered! Soooo much better than the turquoise one

 

[Andrew Paul]

SE’s are looking better and better !! Beautiful!!

 

[Max Headroom]

Just my three cents, definitely turquoise, I have a very similar 02 in emerald green to @Aahzz .
I could live with that guitar colour for sure but if not happy, return it.
That sh!t eats away at you, I sold a gorgeous WL because it just didn't move me in any way once I received it.
You will probably regret not returning it while you can.

Had to wait till back at hotel to access my pictures...

Yeah But Your Lighting Is Off In That Pic Because Your Rosewood Fretboard Looks Like Maple In That Lighting.

Nice Guitar!

Turquoise is my fav PRS color. I have an SE Custom 24 and a SE CE24 satin. Although the shiny flamed maple top of the standard is very sharp and eye catching I prefer the natural look of the mahogany body in satin.

I do think that’s just better lighting. It’s a gorgeous guitar!
I have a “faded blue” 594 that’s definitely not faded in any way. I didn’t like the color at first but it’s brilliance has sucked me in.

I really like it now. However, if it’s not what you like, return it. There’s too many variants out there to settle for something you don’t like.
