Building an LP for an old Mate and will be all upraded Gold Hardware and still looking at pickup selection.
Currently testing colours around Red to Brown to see what looks the goods.
If it was mine I think it would be the tealish colour pictured

That burgundy'ish sample the gold knobs are sitting on looks pretty tasty with the flame.

Liking the burgundy in centre of the pieces nearest to camera the colour makes grain pop
Teal for sure, enough red toned LPs out there!
I'm on the fence with this one, try a burgundy / teal burst on some scrap wood!
Now that's an interesting idea burgundy edges teal centre Kelooe
Yeah KB, I reckon it will look very cool!
awesome grain Tony, where is this kit from ? I love the 4 or 5 blue lines of binding, its a really classy look.
Have you stained some similar flamed maple pieces where are they from ?
I think any colour will look amazing on that cap, but agree try a burst
Sorry Wokka missed this post. Kit was from BYO in the US. The veneer to do test colours I got off Ebay from a mob in Tassie ( will find their Id for you).Quote:

Going with a set of HZ4 pickups to kick her along and Black Tusq nut that came with the kit.
Nice colour! I like!
That is one smooth looking guitar, love the colour!
very classy Tony, i like it a lot
Never seen gold EMGs. Spanky. Great looking axe.
Tony that's coming along very nicely, love the colour combo with the gold hardware
where did you get the control knobs have they got a timber veneer ontop ?
very classy !
hey Wokka
Knobs are from www.qparts.com good range of knobs with stone, shell, wood and metal inserts plus other reliced and different parts.
Stained the headstock with the same stain as body and began staining the back and neck in Mahagony F&W.
still too do sides.
Have found a lot of cracks in the binding on neck that have soaked in some stain. Have scraped and made no difference.
Was wondering if anyone had encountered and fixed before.
Hey Tony looking good. I like the FW mahogany colour is nice and deep. I've seen cracks in the body binding and the same look with stain. If you have scraped and it is deeper not much you can do but treat it as a vintage look.
i agree with Wokka. Some of the quality of the binding seems to leave a lot to be desired...
