An obnoxiously 80s guitar

[Toe-Knee]

Im considering putting something obnoxiously 80s together.

im pretty set on this body




Now choosing hardware & a neck is the bit that im struggling with.

Colourwise more than anything i think black would be a safe bet and i want a worn maple neck but im not 100% on how it would look.

Pickups will have to be green of course.

I would love one of those swirled bodies-- those guys really have their technique down, just amazing!

I'd think that black hardware would work on that kind of guitar, but as you said-- green pickups.

youd best hurry theyre closing down and are just selling off the remaining stock  :(

You should put a YELLOW single humbucker in the bridge, slap an OFR on it, single volume control and leave the holes in the body, maple/maple neck with reverse headstock  :lol:

I think purple pickups would look good.  There's something about green and purple as a combo...



But definitely black hardware.

Pah!
it's more of a post 1990 thing - the swirling on guitars (passion and warfare came out in 1990)
- although it was popular in the 70s on other objects-in fact they sold a kit for kids to swirl their toys with.

Technicalities aside - it looks like fun!

My other option was something tiger/snakeskin but i thought that may be a bit too OTT :D

Can you get a pickup with a colored cover that is glow in the dark? That would be so awesome.

Also, led inlays?^^

[MrBump]

Wow.  Just looking at their site.  Some of those designs are actually quite subtle, and I could see myself building them.

I'm with Philly on this one. Purple pickups would be just right and also black hardware.

Apart from that I wouldn't touch that thing with a ten foot pole. Just my taste.

Yeah he does some great work he also used to get bodies custom made by a sister company or possibly the same company under a different name  8)

I've been watching them for over a year or so now and being a bit on the fence but now that its coming to the end of the line i think ill have to take a risk
