Members 500Hz Posted July 28, 2005 Author Members Share Posted July 28, 2005 i think the MK will look great with the dark ebony board no pics yet, but we'll document the process and i'll post throughout! ...and no gold hardware, either:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fureybass Posted July 28, 2005 Members Share Posted July 28, 2005 Here's an example of a Mary Kay white: http://roxyguitarfinish.com/gallery/mkwhite.htm Yeah, I know it's on a tele body. I've always been partial to burst finishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hammer744 Posted July 28, 2005 Members Share Posted July 28, 2005 What statement do you want to make? You don't see many Mary Kay Jazz's, so if you want to be different, that would be your best choice. Lot's of Jazz's with bursts out there, but I do prefer the three color burst.
