Or you could do a Gretsch silver sparkle top with mahogany stain back.

If I did do silver, it would be the smaller silver, not the bigger sparkles like Gretsch.  Those are a bit too much for my tastes.

Dude. Metalflake is totally retro. Fits right in with Gretsch ethos.

But it has to be tricky to shoot those big flakes.

I hear ya, but I'm not a big flake fan.  Leaning toward the regular silver.

Fair enough. That would look great, and chances of a successful application of finish are much greater.

Well, isn't this a day for "Beware of Zombies..."

I could go into Inverness (this morning) and get a picture of the Green, if you're interested... :mrgreen:

Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Yes, we're back from the dead!  Might get the stain done tomorrow.  I'm sure the loch is beautiful, but not on a bass!

Loch Ness Blue or Inverness Green, or maybe a nice Amber Single Malt... all are quite local now... :mrgreen:

I wish you all my good fortune, or at least a liberal portion of it...  ;)

The BB goes to the paint shop today.  I'll surprise you all with my choice when it's done.    :-X

As long as it doesn't come out looking like Uwe's pumpkin-burst EB-0L!

Bill... if you and Missus Doc ever decide to visit the Highlands there'll be a roof to cover the trip and I'll take you down to the local distillery where we can wind Mark up...! :mrgreen:

We'll take you up on that!  Our next trip will be Italy or the UK in the summer.  We just haven't decided yet.
