Upon arrival from the USPS the bottom horn was sticking out of the package. Not anyone's fault but the post office. No damage done. The color is very natural tortoise. The fit on my mim Fender Stratocaster was nearly perfect. A modification to the neck heel to leave access to the truss adjuster done with a Dremel. Also the pickup holes and selector switch also needed to be tapered with a Dremel. Also one of the 11 holes was not the exact pattern. Had to drill one hole. Minor adjustments and all's good. If not for slight mods I would have given a 5 *. Shipping was timely as well.
