"Five is Right Out".....
I like 4.
Another 4 from me!
Current Projects
#Planning 5 String Bass
MJG I like all of them except 3. I think black edges and red centre will look the best and a sponge effect with some black paint on the red parts. I've seen it done before with a plastic bag dipped lightly in the paint and dab it on lightly. Have a practice run first !
Current Builds and status
scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck
Completed builds
scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup
MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
Ash tele with Baritone neck - neck pup wiring tweaks and play in
I'm gonna be different and say, I like number 4 best. :P
'As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll.'
Well, I gotta say number 5 personally. A little more subtle.
cheers,
Gav.

Have several practice runs first! It's not going to be easy to do it well and consistently. All it takes is one big solid black blob to appear on an otherwise 99% perfect application and it's time to sand it all down and start again.
I'm starting to think you might be able to do the effect with quick bursts from a small airbrush with a narrow pattern and thinned paint, just holding it at different distances away from the surface for smaller and larger blotches.
I'll go for nr. 4 as well!
Nr 1: Red Widow LP-1MQ (Finished) ->Diary<-
i like the top one, yep sponging might work well for the effect you are after
