The time has come... (Poll)

Great choice! I'm sure it will look killer. It reminds me to my 59 which came to me with a very old trans red (wine? burgundish?) finish. Red hues go great with tort, but we all know that

Beautiful.

My god that's fantastic.

Quick update. There is no update sorry to say. My friend agreed to do the finish but I haven’t had time to strip the body. He’s kind of like Danocaster, doesn’t want to do any prep work. I get it, of course. Now that the weather is warming up (but not this weekend!) I’ll get to it soon.

bump...

-So I think I have changed my mind and will stick with a 1960 finish. A metallic red wouldn't appear until 1963.
-Guitar Mill is doing refins again

With the black anodized guard, I've narrowed it down to these two:

Shoreline Gold or Inca SIlver

-Sunburst was the orignal color of my body but a 1960 burst and black ano guard just don't look right together.
-Oly White is just not my thing, too boring for me. Sorry not sorry. If this was Tort and a D&B neck, then Yes.
-Burgundy Mist or Fiesta is just too much
-LPB, Daphne or Sonic with black is... not it.
-Sherwood, Foam or Surf... nope.
-Shell pink.. nah.

last but not least...
-DAKOTA is cool but i'd prefer it with mint or tort.. but I'm not 100% on that.
-BLACK is not off the table

ALSO, how should I deal with this over sanded part? Build up layers of sanding sealer/grain filler? or??

OLD PIC:

NOOO… I remember being in love with the look of this Jazzmaster in the early OSG days!!! I like it even more with the wear over the years!

Man, that seems like a pretty deep wound. I don’t feel like there’s an easy answer. Maybe there’s an epoxy wood filler that you could build up that would be strong enough. I think most fillers would just get easily crushed or dented if you built up an edge there.

Here's my personal guitar with Shoreline Gold and a black anodized pickguard, if it helps at all. I think that Inca or Shoreline would both be awesome choices with that pickguard.

This is awesome thank you !

OK... I've changed my mind once again. The color I want is a dark metallic blue. Whatever this is called:



It's the color I've always wanted so I'm gonna do it. These dark blues that Ferrari used are what I imagined San Marino Blue would look like.

I think it'll look good with the aged black anodized guard. I just don't love Shoreline Gold or Inca Silver so why do that?

[zhivago]

Wow, that blue looks beautiful!!!!!

[terminalvertigo]

Blue >

[Ursa Minor]

I love that! Alway wondered why there wasn't a darker blue hued Fender originally. That will look killer. Also love that it's something you want and not from a historical palette.

[MayTheFuzzBeWithYou]

Oh yes!

I've lately turned my head for cars (which I normally don't do) - because I really like the color: "Obsession Blue" that Peugeot and others are using. Kind of a dark LPB meets OTM kinda thing that changes color depending on the light... I might actually paint one of my upcoming Jaguars in something like that.

What pickguard will you choose? It will/would look amazing with the black anodized one you already have!!

[Ursa Minor]

But what color pickup covers?!
