Beautiful! I like the rosewood fretboard with it but you don't have to please me. It'll be interesting to see how that new neck will look on there. Might be totally amazing.

To me, it’s more hardware I think.  It seems to ask for black hardware.  I’d definitely get rid of the vol/tone knobs.
Pull those off and take a look.

Black hardware, most definitely. Knobs included.

Make that three votes for black hardware :icon_thumright:

I'm thinking amber knobs and amber tuning buttons.

The Forum has spoken, and I have listened. Thank you!  :yourock:


Another mock up. Getting closer. You all were right - the dark fretboard will work with different hardware.

Nice match on the headstock, too.  :icon_thumright:

 

[Rick]

Looking good!

That's super sweet!

Full disclosure I couldn't get the gloss right with the Tru-Oil on the top. Mainly to get a nice gloss, I kept adding TO coats, but it got too green in the end. That TO really has a strong effect on the end color, and might not be my choice if I wanted to get the color right with dyes and maintain that. So I sanded it back and did it again to get more of the Atlantic Storm I was going for originally.

Looks good. 'Atlantic Storm' you definitely got.  :icon_thumright:

All done but for wiring it up. Still not sure what to do but V will get a treble bleed, and Tone will get a 0.01 Tropical Fish cap. Thinking of a Blower switch.
