Having finished the last lengthy project, I'm feeling about ready to start the next one.
It's a bit of a cheat, because I'll just be doing the finishing and assembly - all the hard work has already been done.
I was really impressed with the easy and quality of the Crimson stain and EZE Oil finish on the last one, so I'm going to do the same again. But should it be the same washed denim finish (which is really tempting me) or should I try something different?
Bridge & tailpiece are chrome. P'ups are either a HFS/VB zebra set, or some chrome covered Gibson PAFs - probably the latter.

Green is good with chrome......

My first thought was black around the edges, with a washed denim middle. I probably need to try that out on some scrappy first.
I'm going to try it on some scrap first.
My thinking is that it might emulate something like this (albeit with different colours, obviously!)
I don't know why, but to me that maple top just seems to be calling out for pale blue - i.e. washed denim.
I think I might just live with the flaw rather than try to hide it under an ugly too-dark burst.
(so, no).
My only reservation about that @Philly_Q is whether a man can have too many washed denim, flamed maple, twin HB guitars ...
Or perhaps I should just go with what I know I like ...
Colours: so difficult!!
[that would look a lot better if I'd managed to upload the photo into this new editor, bah]
*very* faded denim!
... it's looking quite tasty.
That's with the stain still "wet" on the body. With it dried this morning, it looks a little less interesting, but I'm hoping the oil top coat will re-energise the colour.
