Look through the herd and see what's lite, or sit down and choose away from here - we may be too much choice...

You need something to show off all that effort you went to with the binding and it will just disappear with silver...

I think you're right.  I've always been a Sonic Blue fan and I think that would work well with the binding.  I'm not bothered by al of the input.  I'm starting to just mull things around more seriously..........

I like Inca Silver a lot. But that bass screams for trans black IMO. It will look so good with the binding.

Cool that PeterB seconded my idea of turquoise & got a good laff from Basvarken's comment that it's a lefty color. haha

Doc says maybe dark red & Barkless says red metal flake for that Hot Rod look---so now I'm thinking Dark Red Metal Flake might be best.

...or CAR  :mrgreen:

Another idea is Dark Red with a Black burst!
...or Red to Dark Red to Black burst!!!  8)

drbassman

Oh yeah,  CAR would be cool............

What about Inca silver???



Only if you do the sides and back in black for the appropriate contrast!

After consulting with my wife, it's probably going to be a very deep trans red.  She has a better color sense than I do!

Oh well, it's time that Rob develops some good taste.  :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Red will also be a good choice (taking the risk of the next laff from Rob)... 8)

Hey I already said it's gotta be red. (fire engine red to be precise)

Whatever you chose just remember all of your fancy binding will be lost if the color isn't right ;D  I love the surf colors but how well will the binding contrast with seafoam green or sonic blue?  Candy apple red, trans red/burgandy, trans green all work in my book.

I agree.

Neck's on, cavities drilled.  Now for some serious sanding and tuner hole drilling.
