With the Cabronita style pickguard and no chrome control strip, it means there would be more blue body showing, so it would look even better!Reg18 wrote:Yeah like this, although would mine without the traditional pickguard look this good?Conway wrote:Meet you halfway, Oleg.

Re: Help me decide on a guitar finish
Most of the examples have rosewood fingerboards too, which is making it hard for me to imagine them with a maple board. I feel like this thread is convincing me I like that blue/green colour more and more.
What colour is it exactly, and if I’m asking someone to mix it up does anyone have an official code for it?

Double bound in white, then a silver sparkle finish, now that would be classy AF!!

This one is Warmoth and looks pretty good, although as you say it already has rounded edges.

Re: Help me decide on a guitar finish
This is a very good point, and looking a bit closer it could be 3 pieces. Not so bad I’d be put off doing the natural back and sides necessarily though.AiRdAd wrote:If you go for the natural look on the back and sides, you'd want to make sure you body isn't a multi piece one, or have different pieces of wood that don't match well etc.

Dammit Conway, showing a blue guitar that is actually tasteful is against the rules.Conway wrote:Meet you halfway, Oleg.
I have enough electrics.
Edit: Buzzing sound in ears...Warmoth body...or MJT?.... What's that German neck that Grant put on his Jazzmaster?...... Filtertrons or Lollar wide range 'buckers?..... a Deusenberg wobbler......blue or tatty gold?........shitshitshit!!!!!!!!!
