Members Saturday Posted March 26, 2009 Members Share Posted March 26, 2009 i have a japanese 70s SG copy that i will repaint. it has a kahler tremolo and i want to add a tune-o-matic, turning it into a more "standard" SG. so, removing the bridge and filling all the stuff will allow me to refinish the guitar. actually is black w black pickguard, but i'm bored of that combination.. the body has a few dings so i would like a plain color, not natural or burst or transparent. i was thinking about olympic white. like this: that would be great, but maybe i was thinking about other more radical colors. blue? dark green? dark violet? so i'm asking about pictures of your odd-colored SGs, please share!

Members Guitar Heel Posted March 26, 2009 Members Share Posted March 26, 2009 White SGs are teh sex! Used to have a White Tokai SG, and it was beautiful. IMO, SGs are like Porsches, they only look best in white, black, and red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Guitar Heel Posted March 26, 2009 Members Share Posted March 26, 2009 sure? Well-played... Is that the blue that eventually turns green? I do love that color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members go cat go Posted March 26, 2009 Members Share Posted March 26, 2009 I would paint it a classic Fender color like shell pink, daphne blue or belair green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Elias Graves Posted March 26, 2009 Members Share Posted March 26, 2009 I'm redoing an SG now, too.My top two choices right now are pearl yellow and metallic silver. I think maybe pinstriping also. White always looks good too. EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members V-man Posted March 26, 2009 Members Share Posted March 26, 2009 sure? Bingo. R/B/W is safe and boring. It will always look good, but other colors done right are far better (or worse). I was actually going to suggest an Arctic Blue before opening this (basically, similar shade but dial the green back) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Saturday Posted March 26, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 26, 2009 yes, that pelham blue is nice but it's not beatiful when its actually blue.. i like it when it's aged. also, i have a japanese jazz bass in almost the same color!

Members stanfield Posted March 26, 2009 Members Share Posted March 26, 2009 Do you know anyone that has actual talent when it comes to painting? As in art, not houses. You could have your own "Fool". I use this as an example, not suggesting you copy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ievans Posted March 27, 2009 Members Share Posted March 27, 2009 Dear god, ^^^ is a mess. Unless your SG doubles as the menu board at your local vegan cafe, don't paint it like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
