Guitar_dude23 Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 I cant decide on which color scheme to go with. If I go with the white or black it will get vintage hardware and look something like a Hendrix guitar. If I go with the quilted burst it will get modern hardware and prolly a SD Cool Rails in the bridge. I have to say I just re-watched my Hendrix DVD and Im craving the vintage look, but Im also into the crazy looking quilted thing. HELP!!!

erikbojerik Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Do you already have the wood? Never cover figured wood with a solid color...if you already have the figured wood, go out & find yourself some alder for the white one (there are already too many black guitars). I second the motion to build 2; have one for regular tuning, then tune the other to D or (better yet) make yourself a long-scale baritone strat tuned to B or A (they sound great).

sepultura999 Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 or keep it in standard, compare the wood, see what wood you like best. do it all while you can damn it! -Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitar_dude23 Posted January 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 well Im not building 2. well not at the moment anywase. Im only 16 and I barely got enough cash to finish 1. The body is Ash, and I would put a maple veneer top on if I was gonna do the 3rd one. Its basically a decision weather I want to go with a modern start with Fender Vintage Noisless pickups and new style hardware. Or if I go with the white or the black I would put in the Fender CS 69's and have vintage hardware. I know black is overdone but it would look so nice with the vintage tinted neck. Im a sucker for a black guitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javacody Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Or, you could make a woodstock strat, white body, maple neck, sweet historic guitar. By the way, I have the CS 69 pickups, they are my favorite single coils, bar none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Sorbera Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 o man if you got a ash body you should deffinitly IMHO do a honey blonde with a maple board Those things look amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitar_dude23 Posted January 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 well I would do the transparent finish thing, but I didnt have a plainer and you can see the joint if you look close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
