Members hangwire Posted September 6, 2011 Members Share Posted September 6, 2011 almost ready to finish some summer projects. this one was an SX Liguid that I reshaped the lower 2 horns so it looks like a Jazzmaster/Swinger/Custom Marauder?/offset here is pre cuts I have either 2 jazzmaster pickups with white covers, or a surf 90 white/chrome I could swap as the bridge instead so I painted the pickguard copper and it has kinda an anodized look - but light blue with tort looks great usually too thoughts?

Members hangwire Posted September 6, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 6, 2011 or i could always use the copper guard on a red body project in the future: but this was the original plan for that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slushpup96 Posted September 6, 2011 Members Share Posted September 6, 2011 I vote for tort, because the copper guard looks better on the red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Holy Schnikes Posted September 6, 2011 Members Share Posted September 6, 2011 Tort but I'd find the darker brown version. Looks better than the reddish tort, especially with the blue finishes. Made one the other day, not the same shade of blue but you can get an idea which you prefer.

Members Filter428 Posted September 6, 2011 Members Share Posted September 6, 2011 The copper looks more like a gold to me. I think mint green would be rad, especially on that shade of blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to get too far off track, but I REALLY don't understand the recent appeal of mint green pickguards To my eyes it looks almost as bad as cream vintage white plastic cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they ever get around to the fancy/unique finishes, Japan will get 'em and it'll be 2K and upwards to get one to the States. {censored}ers! Here, you just have to build it yourself I suppose.

Members hangwire Posted September 6, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 6, 2011 tort does look sexy, but I think i'm going pewt et al. on this one and going copper as it is done... but I'll trace and cut a tort one in the future if it doesnt jive when all done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hangwire Posted September 6, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 6, 2011 Very true. it is a nice concept design... if you got someone to do the body for you that light burst with dyed wood is nice... without that light burst it would look like the Ranaldo one above... which would not be as nice...

Exactly why Fender needs to bring the fancy. I do like that TM finish though, satin green is pretty cool, looks great in person with brownish grain. But of course, that wasn't Fender's idea. I'll build an offset, one day god damn it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
