why don't people use it more? It does wonders for comp stangs. Especially orange ones, but since I dont have orange blue still works nicely.

Very purty indeed.

I have some Red Tortoiseshell coming for my Mustang Project. I am sexually excited about it.

I have that material on my Talman, I hate it. I would like it if it was white more than yellowish. i'm not a huge fan of things being dingy.

Awesome.
If you think of god as a pair of pants, a spiritualist thinks he needs pants, in fact he wants pants but none of the conventional types of pants seem to fit just right, so he makes his own pants and is happy that his knees are no longer cold.-fibus

The 96 also has better material pattern, kinda abalone like. I love vintage tortoise (usually fenders) where it is almost orange the pattern's much more 3-D.
