sorry to bust in here but you should go for cream like on the SG custom. White's a little harsh on a guitar.

It don't need to do a crazy blinding alpine white, unless your doing black hardware for big contrast, but I find a sexy vintage white is really nice for an SG....

Basswood in THAT body design? Have fun with the neck dive...

Since it's basswood, here's what I think would look good.  I'm a fan of finishes where you can see the wood.  I'm even more of a fan of guitars where the wood itself is the decoration.

Have you thought about a burst like black-brown-yellow or brown-natural?  I think both of those would look good on a basswood sg, especially brown to natural.

Basswood has some grain to it but it doesn't really stand out. Maybe it could be enhanced?

You're right!  The guy described as a basswood body, but the specs I found on the RG548 describe it as ash.  My bad.
