hard to photo though, the flame is pretty consistent across teh board but does have a tendency to disapear under a flash.   I think this kind of tight even flame would really suit a telecaster with a black burst (doesnt need the amber in the middle really) and a simple 3-ply tele scratchplate... simple and teletastic but much more at the same time

Noooo :cry: No pickguard, pleeeeease!
At most a very small burst, but I still think it needs to be 100% natural! :D

Solve making it... :lol: Perhaps with that Macassar Ebony neck (I would think in Rosewood neck with that wood on fretboard, Esquire...)
A wood seller here from Brazil told me once "Want to have the figure popping on your face? Before you apply the first laquer coat, let it have some light, 1 or 2 hours, than apply the coat..."

Got a report of a painter doing it, with P.U., and get really impressed, will try it someday...

To the fear of it getting warped side guys, he told me to it that Bear Claw Spruce to acoustic guitar :lol:
He said it works alike when you put oil on a paper, it get transparent...
