This hollow bodied Jazz number will be my fourth pitbull build, I've been a bit slack with the diaries so far but will try to do better with this one! Naming it after my first-born and still debating colour choices...
I was thinking of attempting a sunburst in wudtone or dingotone but I'm not convinced I could pull it off with my limited skills and using the usual dingotone application method. Has anyone done a simple burst that they're happy with and could give some pointers? any pics? I did a search but couldnt find anything.
Other options are a single colour in dingotone (I'm keen to try DB's product) like coolangata gold or the ochre. My 4 year old daughter has suggested blue, her favourite colour, so I'm wondering if bondi blue would look pretty cool.... If I go with single colour I'll be doing the neck with it too.
The grain on this guitar is awesome and I really want to do it justice, colourless maybe??
The neck is gorgeous too and has a subtle flame that might be visible in the pics.
Planned upgrades:-
gotoh kluson style tuners with the oval white plastic buttons
Dawgtown PAFs
Bournes minis ( the only pots i could get through the f holes on my ES1 build!)
PIO caps
bone nut
possibly a bridge upgrade if I can source something with a 73mm post to post measurement ( most after market bridges seem to be 74mm as far as I can tell)
That's it so far,
