My attempt at a burst finish. I was going for amber fade to black. I'm fairly happy how it turned out. As with all my builds the flaws give it character!!!
I wanted the neck to have the same amber as the body. This I'm not so crazy about. It's a little too orangey for me. Not quite sure what to do. I don't want to strip and redo. Maybe it will grow on me. I do love the rosewood fret board.
On this one I'm trying to use Fender parts if I could find them:
Pickups installed. These are Fender Wide Range Humbuckers - a big diversion from the standard single coil that Fender is so famous for. The experts/purists say the new ones don't sound as good as the originals from the seventies. They're right, I've heard both. But I got these for $80 for both and I've seen the originals selling for as much as $350 each. I think I made the right call.
