- Sweet. B, I like the contrast with the wood grain. C feels a bit to polished.IRNlun6
- The problem I see with 1 and 2 is the jarring contrast between the warmth of the colour of the wood, and the coldness of the clours of the scratch plates.Continuity
- The pattern ideas are cool, but I would definitely use warm colours.Continuity
- B if i had to C if aged. TBH would go black or Spitfire tortoise shell with that bod. https://spitfiretort…kingsteven

- Rad guitar! Definitely #3. I want the focus to be on that sweet vintage woodgrain.nocomply
- Yea thread would be nice. I have one currently in the works, and another Japanese guitar coming infuturefood
- I agree nocomplyset
- So you shaped the body yourself?nocomply
- no, he bought a pine blank. Shitty wood.severian
- Severian knows little about guitar wood it seems. The only small down side is that it's softer than other woods. But it's old and dry and extremely resonant.set
- A friend has a huge stockpile of various woods - all the really good stuff is 100+ years old. Pitch Pine's my favourite.. although likely useless for <thisdetritus
- btw, I don't like any of the finishes here, they all seem a bit of a clash. xdetritus
- I think I like the clash of the battered wood against the new pearl personally.set
- Got a few in the way anyway so shall post some picsset
- looks like you're taking a fat dump on a 150 year old relic... i would try something classier than psychedelic squigglesscarabin_net
- C for sure. Go simple with something that old.kona
- Put a dark varnishBennn

- Get a gold anodized pickguard!lnu
- None....or se through...that wood is beautiful.see_thru
- Have to say the wood is so lovely my preference would not be a man made pattern that clashes with the natural wood detailsfadein11
- Btw, need any lasers details?detritus
- *Lasereddetritus
- I hear you fadein but Google 'barncaster' and almost every one is plain wood or a black scratchplate. Kinda want to do something a bit more uniqueset
- Tempting det!set
- keep it minimal with #3dbloc
- a piece of metaldbloc
- @set - fair enough yep. Perhaps a more geometric pattern that fully contrasts with the grain rather than being a little like wood grain. but yep I hear ya.fadein11
