COMMENTS
Paisley pattern slightly different from Paisley Stratocaster (Model #1)
Don't confuse it with domestic Pink Paisley Stratocasters
The finishes are actually done by putting foil paper with the design on it on the guitar and gluing it to the wood. The paper is cut off at the edges of the guitar and then done again on the back of the guitar the same way. The pink is used to cover the places where the foil paper ends and creates the cool burst color.
