both awesome, slight preference for the natural but I think I would prefer the black maple if it did not sport white pickup covers
They both look awesome. I love the natural grain with the cream pickups on the black and the other fretless is very unique looking.
I love both of them and equally in their own individual ways, phenomenal work sir.
Beautiful stunning and gorgeous.
Okay if I was to do them though I'd only change two things though, the knobs on the black one to something a little less busy, and the pick guard on the black one to go more with the neck.
I have a feeling that the angle and lighting are responsible for the guard looking off.

It looks to me like you have the day covered. If I may, I see a bit of a gastronomic equivalent.
So what I mean is, that dark one immediately makes me think of coffee and cream. That's your breakfast or "morning mocha", if you will. The maple fretboard connotes a wooden stir stick.
Then the sticky sweet burst reminds me of a dessert. Perhaps you've had a Creme Caramel? Burnt sugar - caramel - on top of custard. That's what the second one brings to my mind.

I wouldn't change a thing on either one.

That's a great analogy.
The Fender rosewood board has an epoxy coating, the maple is Fender standard gloss.
I played the maple jazz last night for the first gig. Wow, nice grindy blues sound with major thump. Those are some special DiMarzio pickups. A guy named Billybass made the vintage wiring harness. CTS pots,
.047 cap, and cloth wiring. The body is a 2012 American standard, hand rubbed mahagony stained solid piece of swamp ash. The maple neck is a 1976 P neck. In the end, I was not sure how it would sound. With the flats on it, it's sounding like James Jamerson.
The natural jazz has Lindy Fralins in it. I just strung it late last night so I have not had a chance to play it in a band setting. So far not a big fan of the Fralins but I need to give them a fair chance. Thanks for the notes. I'm just having a little fun before it's too late.
