But overall, I quite like the look of this  |
Hi tdq!
Thanks for your comments and suggestions!
-Tuners - I've tried both, I felt with the buttons on these particular ones; it flows better flowing with the shape of the headstock; especially viewed from the rear. But with more vintage style tuners that stick out a little further, parallel worked a little better in my opinion! That's not to say the next ones wont be different.
Id ideally like a more traditional button but didn't want to sacrifice the locking feature (I couldn't get my hands on the vintage style button with the lockers in time).
-Paint - I've more ideas than I have time when it comes to finishes. Carbon finishes will of course be offered, but I do enjoy the contradictory clash of having a really traditional/simple paint finish on a modern guitar that's been engineered to the nth degree... Watching people react to the Daphne blue guitar shown; as they slowly realise that there's no wood has been quite fun! I also have a butterscotch yellow one.
Some supplies are arriving this week; and ill have more to share then
