It depends on the hand painted design you planning on the front. What do you have in mind for that?

Wowser, an Epiphone which looks cool!  What happened to the bushing on the low E tuner?

Good spot! I lost it in my shed (ahem..the "CustomShed") whilst i was painting it. Luckily, I found it a bit later on and put it back in.:)

how do you do your crackling?

A flake finish would be ace. Orange, or red maybe.

But I'd have to go white with gold hardware. Or white with black hardware. 

Or white with white hardware. Can we have a white everything? Ebony fingerboard. Yummy.

I quite liked the worn cherry ones that Epiphone did a few years back.

But definitely some kind of red.

Hi guys!

Thanks for your input, I took a look at all the comments, then ran it past my girlfriend (who is doing the graphic) and we settled on this lovely shade of green! I'll be leaving the original frost blue finish on underneath, so if it gets played to the point of relic'ing it will look super cool

I call that "Subbuteo Green"

Another vote for red

Inverness green is fetching.

As is silver mist...

I sprayed a layer on last night. It is extremely green now; more vibrantly green than a pool table. I think Flourescent pink might be less bold at this stage. I'll post a photo in a bit

Wow! Thats green! However it will tone down a bit when the hardware goes on, I like it!
