Question of the week March 15, 2010

Seriously, I would just do chrome hardware and wooden knobs with cream pup rings.  I don't think you could get away with anything else.  I think the neck would have to be fairly simple too, like all Indian Rosewood or something. 

+1 on the all rosewood neck, or mahogany/rosewood

Rosewood pickup rings.

+1 to all these statements. I think it looks great, and 1-piece tops usually look more interesting and/or unique.

Can you get rosewood pickup rings????  I didn't even think of that.  That would be way better than cream.  Again, someone please buy this and do that so we can all live vicariously through you.

What that body needs is a cleared mahogany neck w/rosewood board, or a solid rosewood neck. Chrome pickup rings and all chrome hardware.

EMG 81/85 wouldn't be bad either!!  :toothy11:

I think the one piece is nicer looking.

+1001 -  bookmatched is nice but one piece is nicer

I may be the odd one out here but if I got this I'd definitely go with a maple neck, maple fingerboard and abalone or MOP inlays. A solid white (wood white.....you know what I mean) would look bad ass.

My favorite in this lineup is the one in the middle.

I have a larger size of this one for wallpaper if anyone wants it.

Dammit!  I missed my "Beware the ides of March" comment I do every year that only the nerds get.

It's okay, my friend and I mentioned the Ides of March several times yesterday.
