That's hot as fuck! I was thinking about a champagne pearloid pickguard and dark red stripes.... totally switch up the look. No stripes seem to really work well with tortoise.
MIM strat, modded with vintage style slotted tuners, solid brass trem block, GFS aged white pickguard and GFS alnico ii pickups. Sounds... awesome. GFS makes some pro shit.
This will soon be my new guitar. Being made by Paul Rhoney, prototype of his new production model. Hollow Body offset with contour edges, all rosewood neck, wide range humbuckers wired out to separate jacks. Only controls will be the two volume scroll knobs mounted in the pick guard. Will be a lacquered wood back with a nice Cadillac Green top.
You still playing in the same circles you did circa 2009 era Dase? You know that whole Catfood Press type of bands? Not that it exists anymore as far as I can tell, at least from my Sydney eyes If you are around, you should totally play it next time I come through Melbourne with a band
