Would this look good
« on: February 06, 2008, 08:15:37 PM »
ok, some of you may remember this i was working on



i never got it finished because commisions come first and i tried a new technique for grain filling, wasnt happy with it and left the guitar in the corner of the workshop for ages.  

anyway, i feel like i have been sanding for weeks on various projects so it seemed wise to get this stripped back and ready to finish at the same time.

i am having another guitar sprayed pure brilliant white at the moment .... I am tempted to get this done at the same time.. should i or is it a bad 80's idea.

  the pickup will be chrome or black rather than the wartorn and aged miracle man i put on for the picture.  I recently had tim do me a holdsworth style humbucker for the other white guitar and i reckon something similar could work well in this too

... this month, white guitars...

... next month, trans black all the way!!!

I'm getting my Voyager done in Sparkly Black.

Why go for something truly different ;) Sparkle, Flip-colours or even graphics if you so wish.

not doing anything fancy with this one, the idea is i can get it sprayed soon if i want it white, any other colour and it will have to wit till after next months trans black guitars

i was thinking that i have all the parts except pickup here anyway, the kahler is pretty 80's anyway... why not go for solid white and get it done now

I expected some people to like the wood  but this neck is actually an offcut  from a bass i made.  Its laminated and deep set for strength and stability rather than visual appeal.. but it does look nice.. i may yet leave the back of the neck natural to show it off.

Definately white. Or maybe ivory? But if you can only get a chance for white then go for it.

I love your guitars. Gives me much inspiration. PDT_003

Yeah, white is good - but hide the neck laminations too.  :)

I really don't like white guitars, but others seem to, so go for it. If it looks cr@p claim it as a success and flog it to someone who thought it would be cool.  :D

You have another whiter than white guitar in at the moment? Does it happen to be a swanky superstrat?

I think a white explorer would look awesome and definitely go over the wood neck bit with paint. What about a hot rod black stripe where that neck bit goes?
