Hey Jase
Just picked myself up one of these through the ebay auctions for an absolute steal.
Was a real spur of the moment thing, but having seen your beautiful creation, I'm quite excited about it.
They look as though they would be a heap of fun to play.
Have absolutely no idea what colour to go with....decisions, decisions!!
Cheers
Andy

Good one Andy. Im planning my next build and have changed my mind bout 10 times.Never easy. Good luck on your choices.
Sorry Fretworn...lol
Just lucky I guess.
Was originally interested in the beatle bass, not that I play bass, just like the look of them.
Thought it would be a challenge to do a vintage burst on one. Another day maybe.
Andy you are lucky I was watching the DC junior auction but was in a car and my ebay phone app needed a password to sign in and I couldn't remember the damn password, I was going to bid $75 last few seconds.
Good score Andy $72 plus postage, look forward to see that in the build diaries

Thank goodness for passwords hey wokka!!!
Think I will do a full build diary this time, rather than just posting the finished product.
Any colour suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!
Nice score Andy! ... I was one of the bidding competitors but in the end having just received my Ash explorer kit I really couldn't allow myself to be that greedy (even though I DID try!) ... seeing Jase's DC really did give some inspiration to make up one of these wonderful little axes! ... now it'll have to be the one after the next one!
Colour choices? ... unless you want to do something completely "off the planet" (think disco mirror ball and LEDs or maybe lime-green fur! 8O ), in my opinion there's really only two choices for this particular guitar - either the YELLOW that Jase has done his in (excellent job by the way Jase! a true classic) OR my personal favourite, dark WALNUT brown with similar black hardware to that used by Jase (mmmmm, niiiice!)
Wait a minute ... that sounds like Rock and/or Roll!
SG-1 ... "Little Miss" finished in Flamenco Cherry Wudtone
TL-1A ... "Slugger" finished in Antique White Nitro
EX-1 ... "Metal God" finished in nickel-plate (work in progress)
ST-1A ... "Scrapper" stained and finished in linseed oil ... and with the "secret weapon"
GR-1SF ... "Rocker-billy" (just arrived, work in progress)
For something a little different... Carmine Gypsy with black hardware.
Scott.
yes I agree with Weirdbits, carmine gypsy or even cherry flamenco and black hardware would look unreal
Andy how about take a photo of the body after its sanded and ask the forum for colour ideas. If its got any nice figure in the grain you may want to go a lighter colour but these are only basswood (I think)

Im with WeirdBits. Carmine Gypsy was my original choice before going with the Butter-scotch for something different. Good luck.
