scrumpymike Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Yep, that walnut finish is starting to look like my Rascal Mervyn-Lyte. You won't be disappointed fleabag - people regularly come up for a chat about mine at gigs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyjr1515 Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 The body probably has one more coat of finish to do and the neck is having its finish applied to seal in the stains and make sure @fleabag doesn't end up with a very funny coloured fretting hand While that's going on, @fleabag and I have been agreeing the decals he wants on the headstock and I've started sorting the electrics. Clearly, the first task is sorting out the pots and switches on the control plate: And I can't believe we'll get through without a torrent of suggestions, but we also have to talk about knobs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been waiting since puberty for someone to sit me down and have that particular chat with me. I think we may have left it too late for me to benefit much from it.

scrumpymike Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 IMHO, knobs should be gold to match the bridge - otherwise too much purple (cue response: "There's no such thing as too much purple!" 😄) PS At least it's good to see that the forum's 'morality-policing' software hasn't changed 'knob' to 'pink torpedo' like it used to!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardH Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 All innuendo aside, I think if I were having wooden knobs, then the walnut would be my choice to contrast with the purpleheart. However, gold as per the bridge sounds good to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
