Showcase body from a few years ago I almost bought....should have....

OK, so I have one other weird idea for an LP Carved Top. You know the Buck Owens Teles we've done with the 3 piece tops....Dyed Red, Clear and Blue? What about a Flame Maple top LP Carved Top done that way?

I like your LP idea...but what what about a RED/WHITE/BLUE burst instead!!!!!  You could play with the order of the colors to see what looks best.  Where is MAX with the photoshop when you need him!  I also partial to quilt maple...heck...do both and sell them dirt cheap! :hello2:

You really need to get over the Buck Owens fetish thing....

Hey. Must be all that Hee Haw my Dad was watching when I was growing up. It's also a 70's kind of thing that I am partial to. I was too young to play much music during that era but I would have like to had been in it.  And dressing more like Jimmy Page I'm thinkin....ha...

I admit a certain fascination with those Buck Owens guitars.  But I like the idea for a red/white/blue burst too.  Maybe Warmoth should make a few of each.

Or, maybe they should have a pie-eating contest and let the contestants puke on a few bodies, let those cure in the hot summer sun, and see if anybody would prefer those over a Buck Owens paint scheme. I'll bet they'd be more popular. I know that's what I'd rather have <grin>

 

[dmraco]

I am still hung op on thie red-white-blue burst.  If it was done with a washed look it could be cool.  Gregg...ever thought of taking a flame maple cap but orientating the stripes top to bottom instead of left to right?

if you built it...they will come.

Pretty sure that's how the Mary Kay finish got made.

 

[simple]

Maybe a finish over a more artsy graphic wrap to lessen the Buck Owens effect?

 

[Alfang]

Count me in with the "No" Crowd on the buck owens guitars

Or, maybe just a finish. Leave the artsy graphics to the hippies, and the Buck Owens effect to the hillbillies.

That color combo is horrible...unless you're trying to be a throwback to the 70s, and plan on shredding out some Bee Gees.

IMO, you most certainly made the right decision by walking away from that one.  Cool design, horrid color combo.
