New La Cab day

What's Hot
Lovely relic Firemist gold nitro finish by @Lamf68 , Allparts neck amber stained and finished in tru-oil, Klisons with plastic knobs, a beefy bridge and a single Filtertron.

The checking doesnt show up too well in the pics, but there's a lot of it.

Flew together and set itself up (a first) it plays and looks lovely, and sounds brill!  Been knocking out AC-DC all morning on it, first partscaster that I've finished that I really like :)

    Yes, have a white guard and it didnt look right, I'm thinking black, or maybe leave it as it is

    Great stuff - the epitome of no-nonsense. Is it just the pictures, or is the neck a bit pale?

    It is a bit pale, was in a rush to get it together, I'll sort that out :)

    Is the white 'guard cut for one 'Tron or two? I sometimes wish that I had one on my green Warmoth LaCab Esquire monstrosity. 

    IMO, the most complimentary colour for the golden guitar would be HPI/Gibson cream.
    Be seeing you.

    The white guard is cut for one pickup, i.e. not cut at all.  Think black might be best

    That's epic. Is it a filtertron from a Gretsch or an aftermarket type?
    Always be yourself! Unless you can be Batman, in which case always be Batman.
    My boss told me "dress for the job you want, not the job you have"... now I'm sat in a disciplinary meeting dressed as Batman.

    It's got a PAT number so either a Gretch filtertron or TV Jones.

    Looks great - I'm not sure it needs a pickguard...

    My current thought too, @gavin_axecaster ; it's got one of your bridges on there, really nice solid thing it is too!

    That's gorgeous - don't put a pickguard on it, it looks perfect as it is.
