syxxstring Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 Firebird Im thinking orange burst with an tsung oil finish, but not sure. It'll be a 12 string with a single chrome paf and chrome hardware. I might use an acousitic bridge and piezo. make suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renablistic Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 shouldn't it only be natural to use a trans red on that beauty? And a lot of clear coat, and a super nice shine? OR you could do a flame graphic (like fire) using trans colors, to show off that beautiful top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 aw, why not? CARRIEBURST !! Really, tho, I think any tans would look good on that top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluespresence Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 Translucent red center moving to darker red on the edges like a red burst. Beatiful top, man. Whatever you do it's gonna look nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syxxstring Posted December 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 put the first coat of black on and im thinking it may stay black. Im a big nikki syxx fan( for thoose totally oblivous to the obvious) and he had the cool gibson blackbird basses. if i had a digital cam worth anything id post pics. rethinking the 12 string idea also maybe a reverse headstock wizard neck if i can find one.

darren wilson Posted December 27, 2003 Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 Very nice. I've totally had a thing for Firebirds in the last couple of years, i don't know why. A honeyburst might look nice with that top. Or do a nice double-black stain and give it a rich deep red burst. Or how about a nice tiger eye burst? I've been seriously thinking of getting a 7-string Firebird made, but more in a traditional Gibson style, with the mahogany/walnut neck-thru and mahogany body with a vintage burst on it.
