johnuk Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 Anodised Blue / Black / Brushed aluminium silver? Chrome Illusion? Have it airbrushed with some funky picture or pattern? You're doing a kick ass job on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange Fruit Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 ERm, Just a stupid suggestion: Quilted maple veneer with a deep purple stain? Actually, probably too late to add the maple, what with the f-hole already cut out . Oh well. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnuk Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 Chrome it!!!!!! Chrome looks sooo nice! But make sure it's triple chromed! You don't want it scratching up (And believe me, it will otherwise! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StratDudeDan Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 i would say...some type of color shifting paint...maybe metallic...hmm...pretty... or do something just plain wierd with it, say, a rainbow...who know's it's not a normal guitar and it does not deserve a normal finish. make us all proud!

BeAR Posted September 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 Ok, I think the colour is decided. Like a creamy/white metallic with a pearl through the clear coat. Ill leave the 70's headstock and paint the face to match. Top it off with the authentic Fender Logo and we should be good to go. The F hole looks too funky to go with the small headstock. Top it off with an ebony bridge. Should look great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikbojerik Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 Good choice sticking with the big 70s headstock, another feature that will make it unique. Though I'm personally not crazy about painted headstocks. Check this guy out for the proper decal; his auctions get run off regularly, but then reappear. "click" How about carved ebony vol/tone knobs? I've seen 'em somewhere... Looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

izzy Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 seeing what you did inspiered me to rip off the idea ... i was wondering if you can email me tips on how you put the bridge in with the piezo. as soon as i figure out how to add the bridge properly il start sacrificing my guitar. i got a korean strat that ive kept for several years thinking of a way to modify it. any pointers would help. if its to lengthy you can email me at pig920@austin.rr.com. any extra pictures would help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 does that make you a fellow central texan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DividedByJames Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Are you gonna put a regular acoustic bridge on it, or a hardtail with piezo saddles? I looked into it a bit and I think the most cost effective saddles ones if you are doing standard strat/tele/tuneomatic hardware are the Graphtech Ghost pickups. You can even call up the shop and talk to Lee. He was super nice about answering my questions. Stew Mac sells them here. LR Baggs does something similar but I think they are more expensive and less diverse. Looks cool, although I must admit I was expecting the f-hole to be on the top side so that it wouldn't hinder controls, but that's only because it's the norm...I definately want to see the finshed product.
