Help me finish my guitar

[crash]

I bought a Shedua body off Ebay a while ago.  I am in the process of finishing the Tru-oil.  I am thinking a White Korina neck with Ipe fingerboard.  Below are some of the creations I made on Kisekae. 

Odd note: I searched "Shedua" on google for the DIY wood on Kisekae.  I found the exact body blank in which my guitar was made.

Option 1: Black-Cream

Option 2: Cream

Option 3: Cream-Black

Option 4: Black

Option 5: Black-Cream with Zircote fretboard

I voted for the first option, but it's your guitar. Go with whatever you like best! It's going to be a sweet build no matter what.

I like the ziricote fretboard best.

As the rolling stones said- paint it black


Well, not the body :icon_smile:

Zircote fretboard with black pg, trem, jack plate, and tuners. Chrome covers, knobs and switch tip. :headbang1:

Shedua/Ovangkol/Amazique is one of my favorite woods. I almost was going to buy a laminate top once, but I could not find a good source for it.

I would steer clear of Ipe. Tubby.Twin's Ipe Gecko neck was truly exceptional, but Ipe tends to be one of the ugliest woods known to man. I would personally go for Gaboon Ebony, to keep the focus on the body and not the neck.

3 or 5 look best, so just pick whichever fingerboard you like best  :rock-on:

Pretty slick looking project

Black across the board, except for the body.

i'll take 1 OF EACH !!!! ccasion14:

5 is my favorite.

#9.... #9.... #9... wait, sorry. #5.

Ipe is soooooo nasty.  TT has possibly the only acceptable piece of it on his bass neck.

I tend to agree, but I think it kinda works with that shedua...

I was thinking the same thing too.  Which is why I was considering it for this build.  There are 2 in the unique choice that have almost a maple color

The others are kind of greenish :sad1:

I am honestly torn on this one.  I know I want to do a black/cream thing with P90's.  I'm probably going to do a 24.75" scale with a Warmoth headstock too.  Just can't figure out the exact combination.

Thanks for all the input!
