Hello all,
I've just done a quick fit up of the guitar and was hoping to get others opinion on the chrome hardware. Yay or Nay?
Originally, I was thinking of getting black hardware for it, but know I'm in two minds!

This is looking pretty cool. I'd probably go chrome, but black would absolutely work. It'd look meaner with black I think.

I'd stick with Chrome, it continues from the headstock through the silvery frets and on to the bridge/tailpiece and the knobs.
I'ts a little bling brightness to the dark menace of the colour and the shape.

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
Nothing wrong with the chrome, but I like the black idea. Man, you make a nice guitar Spawn25.
Thank you for your feedback guys. One thing I’m worried about is after I airbrush it, the chrome might be a bit much. I have to admit, I am liking the chrome with what I have at the moment.
Damn, man. That paint job looks killer.
nice job spawn, really like texture with the red and the black burst is just right. Should be pretty happy with it
Chrome looks good with that paint job. nice job brother

Good morning all. Hope all is going well for everyone on this long weekend. What a great time to be working on our builds!
Here is an update on where i am at with my JK-1.
Finished the airbrush on the body and I'm happy with it. It was at least 24+ hours to paint that picture of Spawn (It's the size of my hand). It's been a long time airbrushing and I wanted to get as much detail as I could.
It was cleared with DNA custom clear. Great clear to use, it flows well, has a nice gloss and you can get it in small kits.
I'm going to start sanding it back and give is a cut and polish for a better mirror finish. I'll be using 3D polish to help achieve that look. It's an excellent brand if anyone is looking for a great polish and you don't need much to get results. If anyone wants more tips and what I use to polish, let me know. Finishes is what I'm good at!
I have decided to go with black hardware instead of the chrome. With the look that I want I'm finding the chrome too much.
With the black bridge, will I have to expose any metal for the ground wire?
Looking forward to your feedback and I hope all your builds go well this weekend.
