Members Funderbunk Posted May 11, 2007 Members Share Posted May 11, 2007 haha -- is that a DARE!??!?!?! Well, no one would ever have any doubts about whose Strat it is - I've seen some wacky finishes, but never a completely plaid strat... AND - if you wanna get fancy, make it trans plaid - have someone airbrush dye onto your body, then clear it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jlw001 Posted May 11, 2007 Members Share Posted May 11, 2007 If the wood grain is nice on your guitar body, I would definitely strongly consider a transparent finish. I think the blue, green, and black would be nice in transparent finishes. However, there is something sublimely beautiful about lightly tinted (think vintage tinted necks) Swamp Ash with clear coat.

So far -- I think I am leanging towards the blue.... but your suggestion of lightly tinted is intriguing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brianwahl Posted May 11, 2007 Members Share Posted May 11, 2007 I'd go sonic blue, daphne blue, shell pink, or surf green Daphne Strat Another Daphne Strat - though the color looks significantly different to me Sonic Strat Daphne Strat Daphne Strat - this time with the maple board Sonic Strat Shell Pink?

Members FUBTAG Posted May 11, 2007 Author Members Share Posted May 11, 2007 brian -- that shell pink is cool.... but does it go with an anodized p/g? I already have a daphne blue or sea foam green guitar (depending on the light) hmmmmm... I have a tele being built with a green coloring.... I need something DIFFERENT....

Members liko Posted May 11, 2007 Members Share Posted May 11, 2007 Copper PG with black hardware... It may sound wierd, but try a green dye finish. Copper oxidies to green, so you're used to seeing those two colors together. Yes, copper oxide is a very ugly green, but you could try a bold leaf green or a darker forest. You could also burst it from black to green if the scheme is too bright. Of course, as dangerine suggested, you really cannot go wrong with basic black.

Members liko Posted May 11, 2007 Members Share Posted May 11, 2007 Transparent Black? Like a stain? how would you highlight the grain? That's the whole point of a stain; the grain pattern absorbs more stain than the lighter heartwood, so even a black stain will accentuate the grain. How much the grain is acccentuated depends on how much dye you apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black to Green burst is a cool idea..... hmm -- At this point between trans Blue and black to green burst.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
