In regards of the headstock: i had thought years ago, before painting the inside portion of the headstock, of doing red binding with black interior. But since the tuners were black, my then girlfriend had suggested that i should paint the inside red and leave black exterior so they could stand out against the headstock. Although Hillerup's suggestion is good, i would've probably done it if i had chrome tuners and if the body was red or something :)

It's all coming together nicely, i'll apply a second coat of red today, and then monday is the whole start of the finish process.

You could always just put 4 chrome washers instead of the black ones on the face of the headstock - That would make the black tuner posts "pop" against the black face...

True, but i'm that: only one or the other type person when it comes to instruments. if it's black chrome, its all that, chrome all the way. Never gold, not too keen on gold, nor nickel really, except i'll compromise on it if it's all nickel it won't look to messed up.

I really wish someone from this group comes in and snags this one.

No bids, less than 2 hours to go! With shipping $380 to the lower 48.

I've been watching this closely, and it's the second time it's been posted without any bids...

If any of our fans living outside the U.S. are interested I'm happy to help out in sending it overseas.

It's the one color I don't have, which is on my wish list...

If only I had the funds, but my significant other thinks 12 are more than enough, and doesn't quite understand the obsession... :P
