Gavmeisters ES-3

I'm not sure at this point whether to keep the back and side natural (i.e. Dingo tone Clear) or to use a colour? White or black (but not keen on black). Had originally thought all white....but wondering about 'clear'?

Just about upgraded everything except the body and neck. Have some plans for the pickups which will disclose later in the piece. A gorgeous trapeze as shown in the first posting is reserved for this guitar, plus some clear knobs which might mean 'gold-leafing' the pots to match the rest of the hardware. Haven't ever seen gold pots anywhere.....

My initial reaction is go white all round. Even the neck and headstock. I think black would look kind of cheesy. If you wanted to go for a non-solid finish on the rest I think you would need to stain it a bit darker than the current pale wood colour. (but that's only my opinion)
