cool , now get a black pickguard on it !
Haha, I actually think it would look great with a black guard, knobs, tuners, trem with body coloured headstock... slippery slope! I'll end up fiddling with it more than playing it. Think I will end up messing with it at some point, colour looks silver in some light and bright gold the next I quite like it. Makes me want to pick it up which is mission accomplished.
I've never been too precious about chips/dings/scratches, I think it all just adds to the character of the instrument (though I wouldn't ever buy a relic'd / roadworn guitar)
My 2 cents but I reckon that would look sick with a red tortoise-shell guard on it
Hmm, not sure on the red idea, I might get Photoshop out at some point actually.
Yeah I like a bit of character. It helps that I'm not shy of picking up and playing it, it's not an expensive instrument but if it's too nice I'll not wanna play it. But I think I will eventually give it some love simply because I love the colour and think it could look stunning with a few tweaks.
Aim.is to play it, probably get a few more marks on it, end up buying another and modding this because I love the idea of fiddling as much as playing. Been down so.amny Google rabbit holes lately!
Got an interface being delivered tomorrow so i can play it properly. New strings, clean and set up tonight, Monday night therapy.
