electricwood Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 This is my 5th build. I have started and stopped it several times over the last 4 years. The back is sapele with a quilt maple top, a bois de rose fretboard, and Gold EVO fretwire. The 7 string TOM is a gold tone pros and the electronics will be 2 dimarzios (Tone Zone and PAF7--both black coils) with 2V 1T, a three way, and push pulls for splitting. Tuners will be gold locking grovers. The neck is a 3 price maple/mah/maple with a chunk of quilt maple scarfed in for a headstock. 22 frets on a 25 1/2" scale I am at a point where I now need to decide on a stain. The maple edges will be clear for a PRS style "binding" and the back will be natural. Any suggestions on a top color with gold fretwire and hardware and black pickups?

Anthony Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 I think it would look killer if you mixed up some kind of bright pink stain. Or whitewash it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electricwood Posted December 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Thanks for the responses. I am really leaning toward a natural amber hue, rootbeer or green. I am worried that the rootbeer will be too similar to the fretboard color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
