Re: What's on your work bench?
Well, perhaps..... I am taking the headstock from the solid body Corvette, but I made the body in the style of the 6183 Corvette as per pic below. So a blend of Corvettes then... Still debating one or two pickups and type of bridge (metal or wood).bender wrote: ↑Sat Aug 29, 2020 6:05 pmDisappointed it's not a corvette...

Re: What's on your work bench?
Current state of build, moving along ever so slowly. Any colour suggestions?

My initial choice but no good with ebony binding. Starting to like the red as it pops the grain really well. Mind you, same with the light blue.

In fact looking at the pics again, prolly not arched. Think I'd prefer a lighter colour on this one myself, to contrast with the binding.

I really like the red - it pops - and will go well with the black binding.

I like the far right one - looks like walnut on my screen.

Re: What's on your work bench?
Thanks for the good feedback gents. Appreciated. Tried yellow but did not include sample as I did not like it. Can't find a gold food colour stain at pack and save...
It has a flattop, all the wood you see is from NZ trees, except the ebony.
Walnut? The strip is kohekohe and the far right bit is natural but finished with teak oil. I will finish the kohekohe neck just like that.
So red it will be then...
