stark white ? it's got mint. not really feeling tort on this one, and i've looked at Decoboom but not sure it'd look right considering the colour...

I liked red(ish) tort on mine (when I had it).

Not inspired by this (at all):

I did my OCR with Spitfire tort inspired by that same pic of Bilinda:

But, you know, everything looks good with gold:

i'm going to contact Decoboom and see if they're ever going to offer single-coloured PGs with that Gretsch-style. i'd certainly consider something like that (metallic paint under a clear guard - or a painted backside)
