verhoevenc Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 I've got a new student and I'm doing a simple bolt-on along side him so he can watch me do each step, then do it all himself on his strat. I'm torn on some aesthetic choices so I figured if poll the audience. Here's the cemented specs: 12.75" Barracuda shape with single EMG-81 and black Floyd rose and other hardware. Top, fretboard, and headplate are all board-match persimmon. Body is just basswood, neck is EIRW bolt on. Red Options: - red pearloid binding with black/ivoroid/ black top purfling - red volume speed knob (no tone) - clear finish Blue options: - Ivoroid binding, no purfling - BSB (burnt stained blue aka 90s JEM7s) finish Combine both ideas?: - all of the red option AND do the BSB style finish but in red? - not so sure about this option...

verhoevenc Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Either not too many people saw this... or not to many people had a strong opinion one way or another. Given this is a build to follow-along with a student so he can watch me do each step and then repeat it on his guitar I was bound by time. I went ahead and made a decision; I went the BSB (burst stained blue... but really more of a teal) 90s JEM route. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwedishLuthier Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Either not too many people saw this... or not to many people had a strong opinion one way or another. Or we just were convinced that either way would look great, coming out of your workshop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
