Members GreatDane Posted March 27, 2013 Members Share Posted March 27, 2013 i'm not talking about bursts or trans-color finishes. do you like the look of a clearcoated, un-factory-tinted maple, ash, basswood, alder, etc. top on an electric guitar? post pics of your favorite(s). does something like this do it for you, or does it come off looking incomplete, cheap or awkward? does a natural-finish make your heart go pitter-patter, or do you just go "meh"?

Members Marko Posted March 27, 2013 Members Share Posted March 27, 2013 Some yes, some no. I love natural on basses, but not so much on guitars, especially LP-type. Strats/Teles with black or tort pickguard, yes. Otherwise a nice flame with a bit of burst around the edges works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kayd_mon Posted March 27, 2013 Members Share Posted March 27, 2013 Most of the time, I like it. Natural 335s are my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Yer Blues Posted March 27, 2013 Members Share Posted March 27, 2013 I've grown to like them... and in the hands of someone like Phil X, Eric Johnson, Eric Gales, Jimmy Herring, Carl Verheyen, etc, etc I bet they would sound great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Into Nation Posted March 27, 2013 Members Share Posted March 27, 2013 I love them. Natural slabs, or tops so long as you can't see the joins or they are 2 pc down the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members photon9 Posted March 27, 2013 Members Share Posted March 27, 2013 It can definitely work if the wood is matched well. That Guild is beautiful, the strat is almost there, and the LP looks terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mschafft Posted March 27, 2013 Members Share Posted March 27, 2013 For semi-hollows and Teles. Either very dark fretboard or maple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
