Mayfly and Tonar are at it again

[mayfly]

Greg!

Some observations:

1 - Holy Crap that looks fantastic!
2 - Glad that you skipped the green - it would have been too much as a burst
3 - You can't have it.  It's mine!  Mine I say!
4 - you can always do that new strat up like this....
5 - and finally, you are, as always, the man  :headbang:

I wonder if it would look best with black hardware...  I've got all chrome stuff for it, but I can always change it out.  hmmm....

Edit - Greg, would you like a Glendale half-plate cut for a bender?

 

[smjenkins]

Oh man that looks good.  Just the perfect color blue.  I agree its better without the green.  My take is white pickguard, chrome hardware, maple neck.  Since this is the Warmoth forum, I'm guessing it will have none of those things.  Probably more like gold hardware, a snake skin pickguard and a badonkadonk neck.

Don't be so cynical, some people here appreciate the classics.

+1 for the chrome hardware.

 

[smjenkins]

True enough.  Trevor's builds always come out looking really classy.  I should have more faith.

Here are the sun shots. You still can't see the flake in the pictures but it looks really nice and everyone who has seen it so far is amazed.

 

[Mor Paul]

What kind of pickguard? Clear, white, or superlight mint?

 

[Nando Vallart]

Jesus, this is looking sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool! Glad that you guys took the green out!

 

[bigguspickus]

+1 on the clear pickguard. Don't cover up any of that finish.

 

[mayfly]

Thank you thank you Greg.  I can hardly wait to play that sucker on stage!  :toothy10:

BTW - the current plan is a clear guard.  I think that will do nicely  :icon_biggrin:

...and the back?

 

[mayfly]

Yep - clear back there as well.

Actually, this brings up a good point:

Greg - how should we finish the inside of the bender cavity? 

 

[Tonar8352]

Leave it alone. It has the pearl and color so once you get the bender in there it will look fine.

As Dang R6 would say, "Rolling Stones it."  Paint it Black.

While you're at it, get the Bender powder coated some contrasting color like red or yellow.

 

[smjenkins]

Like the b bar powder coat idea.  Use that to get green in the color scheme.

Teaser...

That's awesome.. good stuff guys!  :icon_thumright:

 

[smjenkins]

Looks amazing.  When do you expect it to leave the Tonar towel and land at your house?

...I wonder if tonar can do an Ibanez Swirl...
