Obviously I'm not a skilled photographer but these pics show off the actual finish better!

The guitar is really light, a little lighter than my old Vigier even. And it's really loud acoustically - not had a chance to plug it in yet. The better half is on nights at the mo and probably wouldn't appreciate the wake up call :-p

I dunno about reflector knobs, I reckon some simple Tele knobs are what it needs.

you could be right, i'd say we're all thinking reflector knobs because they fit with the silverburst les paul custom look

That is a great finish!

I still say reflector knobs rather than Tele knobs.  I think you need a bit more black on there to go with the outer edges of the sunburst.  :)

Yea, I get ya both. I'll try both types out. Scott likes the finish so much that he's called it 'Black Mamba' and is making it a regular finish  8)

I have some of the black centred chrome Tele style knobs on my Tele.  Looks like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mr_atrocity/3870705209/in/set-72157622033583673/. I think they're a great not too traditional, not too outré option.  Love the finish on your guitar there by the way. Very nice indeed.

Not out of choice. I've been unemployed for a month, and the mortgage company don't give a rats ass if I want to keep my guitars are not. I've managed to get a job this week, though - alot quicker than I thought I would! The sooner I can get through the bureaucracy and the start the job the better. Who knows I may even be able to keep hold of gear. + the water heater died a week ago and I've been having cold baths, d'oh! And I woke up this morning and.... the wife was still there :-p

OH WOE IS ME
