I hate it when this happens!

[Tonar8352]

I hate when a guitar looks this good and I have to give it back.  I love me a 2-tone sunburst on swamp ash.

 

[mayfly]

wow - that is quite the thing.

 

[Cagey]

That is sharp! I'd hate to see it go, too.

 

[dmraco]

Nice job...I hate even more when we have to cover it with pick guards!

 

[stratamania]

That does look a great combo of ash and burst...

 

[Surf n Music]

You just gotta say it didn't pass quality inspection and that they just gonna have to send another body.  :laughing7: Turned out so good!

Who's is it? -Going home to anyone we know here?

 

[fdesalvo]

That's a spectacular burst

 

[Tonar8352]

Thank you all as always for your kind words, I really do appreciate it.

The guitar body and the Warmoth neck that go with it are going to a young guy that use to take lessons from me years ago and now he is all grown up with a family and an addiction to guitars like the rest of us around here.

-Get him to sign up here at UW! -I wanna see pics of that thing put together!  :toothy10:

 

[Tonar8352]

So which color guard do you all think looks better with this guitar, black or white? Here it is with the neck that will be going on it.

 

[Day-mun]

Parchment or mint green!  :icon_jokercolor:

(-Actually I meant that.)

 

[Cagey]

Parchment or cream. That white is too stark, and the black gets lost.

 

[line6man]

I prefer black with sunbursts. Matte black or bakelite or some other non-glossy black. That particular pickguard looks perfect.

 

[mayfly]

Black I think.

 

[stratamania]

Either would work, but I would lean more towards a parchment type colour.

Hi, I'm Adam.  As the Future Owner of this guitar, I gotta say the white is much more striking.  However, I may agree that the white is too loud, and go for a parchment instead.  Can't wait!  Don't take your time, Greg!

Welcome to the form and congrats on a bad-ass finish! Can't wait to see the final product!  :headbang:
