Scott's GED-enBacker RC-4 Build

[geddyfan]

Nice body colour. With some clear coats on it, it's going to look even better.

I know what you mean about the headstock veneer. It's not taking the stain as well, and it's not as figured, so it needs replacing.

Absolutely...my wife had a good idea on that...I'm going to sand the veneer off and paint the head stock black (the back of the body and the neck will be black). THEN I'm going to take a piece of the material I used for the body top and make a Rickenbacker-style truss rod cover finished to match the body. That should actually look really cool...as if the red and black quilted maple was carrying through, under the fret board, to pop out over the nut.

I was fighting her on it, but in the end, gave in because...well...she's smarter than I am... :P

Thats exactly what I did on mine... flamed maple trc... it came out pretty sweet.. itll look better on yours since you have the same material on the body.. cant wait to see it!
