I've decided on black hardware, and a pau ferro fretboard with black trapezoid fret marker inlays. If you were limited to these colors, which would you go with - fire engine red, royal blue, candy yellow, olympic white, or jet black?

Re: Help me choose a color

I'd go with white too, though (for me) I'd also go for white fret markers - just not digging the black against a dark board.

Just for the record, the pau ferro to be used for the fretboard is not as dark as something like rosewood. Here is an example of black against pau ferro:

Got it - still not for me, though I do have black on maple on my old Jackson Surfcaster. Have fun with the new build!

Re: Help me choose a color

I voted black , but white would look cool too. I LOVED that charvel they had out a couple yrs ago that was white with blck hdwr and inlays

blue
but I thought Royal blue was much darker and more purpleish than shown
my Ibanez is much darker with black hardware

Nice looking Ibanez. You're probably right about the color. My color for the blue might be closer to a sapphire blue... I mixed my own colors in Photoshop because the final color will be custom mixed.
 
Re: Help me choose a color

White. Definitely. Maybe some gold hardware if white. That's just me. Different strokes for different folks lol.
 
Re: Help me choose a color

No gold LOL, I'm a black hardware kind of guy. I should show y'all a few of my other builds:

Re: Help me choose a color

Dude, Yellow!! Think of it this way-- white and black and yellow and black are strong color combos- AND you've already got a white and black motif base covered with that other guitar!

Yellow and black
Aw man that's all bumble bee
Just asking for buzzing

Blue man Blue
 
Re: Help me choose a color

I have to go with white. It looks better than the other colors under rockin' stage lights.
