H'mm, that's interesting. Looks as though I've a Galactic Purple Tele after all:eek It's a nice finish, very nice, despite the name, though I'd be inclined to call it sa purplish red rather than a real purple. Midnight Wine it may not be, but that'd be a good name for it! Like I said, it reminds me a slightly metallic, slightly purpler version of the old Gibson translucent cherry, only instead of the grain under the clear finish there's this really subtle metallic quality, which only shows up e.g. under a spot. I watched a friend try the guitar on stage last night, while we were warming up, and you really only notice the metallic with a spot directly on it.
