Very cool.
I vote for Iverness Green and a single pickguard (B/R/B would look sharp).

I'VE been gassing for a Bass VI for years and the thought of a hollow one sounds really cool to me.

Now that's a cool idea, a hollow Bass VI! I also have a hollow bass project planned for the future: hollow Jazz of Jaguar body, maple unlined fretless Jazz neck with black binding, a decent set of ChiSonics.  :)


About the pickguard: with so many votes for just one pickguard, that choice is really obvious, so I'm convinced. It will get just one.

And now about the colour: I like something red or orange, it may be a solid or metallic color. Some serious candidates are:

Cardinal Red:


Or....the copper-orange-metallic of TBird58's Mike Lull:


Or just big screaming orange:


Which color does get your votes?  ;)

Well, actually I like green too, so that could also be a good one. Would look good next to my Teal Green Metallic ChiSonic-Jazz  8)


Is there a database with all the colorcodes of these Custom Colors, together with the name of the manufacturer? I do know one for Fender colors, but Gibson custom colors is just new territory.  :)

Thanks, very useful. I use the same site as "The Truth" regarding the Fender Custom Colors.  :)

When it comes to colour choices, I should probably be bound and gagged and left in a locked remote sound-proof room...  ;D

What have you presently got and what do you hate - that should eliminate a few for you...

I do like a nice color as well, and that orange of that Exporer looks quite tasty. But actually I was surprised by the beautiful grain and coloring of the mahogany, so a nice translucent may also be a good choice. But I like it to be a bright color, like this, I wonder how this one would taste  :mrgreen::


But, I think it will be a tough job to get the mahogany in this coloring.

I have been wanting to experiment with leather die, alcohol and mahogany. I have no idea if you could get anything that stunning but I'd like to know.

That translucent orange sure looks nice.

Oh yeah, great looking body, sure would be nice to save some of that grain.

When I walk into a shop with a wall of guitars I always notice the translucent finishes first... of course, I love the opaque finish too.

Hell, I've never met a guitar I didn't like.
