Would this look good

[AngusYoung01]

Wez, if you don't do it white, I will loose all respect for you  :P

And you have to put a toothpaste style  logo on there  8)

um, i like it natural.  or a brown sunburst might be nice, though that'd be more 70's.

actually, if you want 80's, it's got a 24 fret neck and a Kahler, it's gotta be neon yellow!!  :P

[gwEm]

white explorer is hetfield and mattias jabs... definately a good idea.

maybe white with a little graphic somewhere? please yourself about showing off the sandwich effect on the back ;)

b]should i or is it a bad 80's idea.[/b]

Any 80's idea is a bad one  :roll:

I do think it would look good though

[il˙ti]

I'd think the kahler trem would stand out too much. I like it a lot in natural. Maybe an oiled finish?

[FernandoDuarte]

Too much Hetfield in 80's to me... Perhaps a pearloid white would be nice, who knows...

i was originally going to go for a clear or trans finish but  after a little experimentation gone wrong there are a couple of small areas on the body that wont look as good as i want... so it will be a solid finish!!

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

i reckon it might be

I did seriously consider that but i think white is garish enough for me at the moment



i reckon i will go with the white, do it over the neck as well and maybe experiment with a few different scratchplate shapes and colours once its all together

NOOOOO please dont ruin it.. scratchplates are the only reason i dont own an explorer they look awful on them imho they make them look really dated.

[WezV]

the good thing is i can make a scratchplate and see what it looks like before finally deciding to attach it.  

this is one of my old guitars and i really liked the white with black scratchplate

Those are very valid points that i never thought about.

and that scratchplate actually looks really descent.

Did you ever sell that beast of a super strat that you made on here? and if so what did you call it?

[WezV]

no, i still have that one... kinda wanted to hold onto it for a while!

Its called 'THE VETERAN'

damn thats nice

calibrated mm set isnt it?

[WezV]

yeah, thats the one.  It also has a BYOC tri booster on clean boost for most of the clip.  Unfortunately its only recorded on my camera so not the best quality
