I’m absolutely terrible at design and need some help. I have this beautiful Rosewood and Ebony Tele neck and a pair of TV Jones Classics ready to go. My problem is I’m suffering from paralysis by analysis and can’t decide on a body.
My requirements for the body is that it’s on the lighter side and is ergonomic. Honestly, My ear isn’t good enough to hear the differences between various woods so I’m leaning towards Basswood. I play at home and never gig so I’m not worried about it being softer than alder or ash. Also, I’m leaning towards a Tele or Jazzmaster body...possibly a Strat...or a Carbronita...or a...you get the picture .
Where I’m really stuck is on color. Again, I’m terrible at design and even worse at matching colors. I just want the end design to look appropriate with the neck. Please share your ideas and thanks for you time.
Here’s a few pics of the neck:
Here’s a few preliminary bodies that I’m messing with:
