Ooooh, an Oly White JO would rule!

I think if you are going to refinish it, you should go with a custom color.

yea... I'm thinking of a few things. One would be a nitro finish which would let the body breathe better. I'm still digging antigua. I dig a retro look, so we'll see.

I'm personally really digging the antigua myself. Those pics of that finish with the matching burst pickguard look sweet.

I've never been into colors (I like natural finishes mostly and maybe a good 3 tone sunburst), but that finish just reeks of class.

I'd say go with that all the way.

Personally I'd question Antique in Nitro because that color is going to yellow over time. blue/Brownish plus yellow= puke green. I'd stick with Poly if your focused on that color.


I'm a fan of Ice Blue Metallic.

yes. If I go Antigua I'd go poly. If i went oly white or something like that, it would be nitro... I'll stop bothering everyone about the refin. there is one last one I'm thinking. Rickenbacker's autumnglo:

I know it's similar to 3tone, but I love it to death. we'll see.

 

[mattygbass]

olympic white all the way!!!

I didn't like antigua much until I saw the new Fender CS Eric Clapton. Check it out. I'm not sure if you can find someone to do one this well, though. Order a masterbuilt Fender if you want it done right.

i'm really thinking about getting something like the white w/black hardware. i really like the look on it. i'd have to do an ebony fingerboard, too.

i'm already emailing lakland to find out the cost of black hardware for my -01 fretless.

is there a place other than lakland that sells lakland hardware? i've been looking around, but not that much. i haven't even done a forum search yet! ohnoez!

 

[E-Mac]

If I did Antigua, Pat Wilkins would do it. He does the finishes for Lakland, among others. He does top notch work.

Apparently there is hardware powder.

i was just looking at that. it sounds like they took it to get powder-coated. that's doable and probably fairly cheap, too. i'll have to look into it.

Interesting. I wonder if Pat Wilkins can do the Ric fireglo?

Would he also do the pickguard so it would match?

I'm sure he could!

From what I understand, Wilkins can do any finish. In the estimate he gave me on the antigua, he would do the pickguard as well.

I would want the autumnglo done in nitro if possible and Wilkins doesn't do nitro.

I just bought a USA Charvel in candy apple green... just a thought. LOL

 

[Royce Hayes]

I still regret selling my Decade. Maybe get another in Fireglo?

Gotta pay off my JO first.

WOW! I just took a look at their CAG, and it is SAWEET!!! Hmmm, that would look stellar on my DJ5

 

[Royce Hayes]

I almost forgot. Way to go, Doug. Your purchase has really raised the bar around here. A married guy getting two US Laklands at the same time. I would get killed.
I admire you.
