Thanks for the welcome folks. I'll try and answer some of the questions you may have. First, I have no guitar finishing experience. My initial goal was to send the guitar out to be painted to a web-based guitar painter. Then I came across this website, some great tuturoials on Youtube, and a really nice book on building from kits. I'm trying not to go broke building this guitar. I wanted the pleasure of building it myself, but with the cost of building a nice guitar, it could almost be the cost of Ibanez building it. I did find someone who could do a goldtop, and binding but have yet to send of an email. If they could do the top, I could finish the neck, and the rest of the body. Hopefully keep the costs down, but still end up with a sweet looking Iceman. Thanks again, and I'll keep every posted as I move along. Rick

Greetings All, New member Rick here. A few years ago I purchased a Iceman BYOG kit off of E8AY, and have yet to do anything with it. I've been living in a apartment with no place to do anything, but now we're in a house. It's a nice kit, but of course the hardware should be changed, which I'm planning on. I know things are personal preference, but I'm having a hard time trying to think of a way to finish it. I'm trying to not make it look like most Iceman's out there, so black is off the checklist. Many ideas have floated through my head, but the two I like the most have been a flamed-maple blue top with a stained bottom, or a Les Paul goldtop finish. I think both finish styles would be out of the norm when it comes to the Iceman. Please let me know what you think, that way you could help sway me one direction. Thanks! Rick
