    Its the pastel looking colours that get me. I'm fine with the bolder shades, but pastel shades sh*t me sideways, I have no idea why.

    There's only one colour choice......



    Bonus that it's easier than a dark colour.

    Edit: Also you could do an 'Excalibur' headstock logo for it as a reference to the film....

    Please tell me you are not using enamel based paints for this build? they react poorly with guitar stands with foam... just terribly, I've just sanded off and started repainting my ES build from waaaay back.

    I've been getting some good results with Dupli-colour paints from Supercheap auto. They have brilliant colours but none of them are really pastel type colours.
