Re: no really, new color this time

what i always wanted was a shell pink base color with black over it and areas worn out so you see some shell pink and some wood. so it was like the guitar was bought shell pink and the owner got sick of it and repainted it black then it just got played to hell. that's my relic plan for when i do one.

If you are gonna relic it anyway? forget Oly white and go for the cream or
bannana pudding(as some people call it) color. I have a 84' MIJ OLYMPIC
White strat That now has turned to a nice bannana pudding.

Yeah, it's all getting relic'd to fit in with the neck and hardware. I'm really thinking about white/vintage white. The only problem, I dont know if it'll look too hot with a maple board. I mean, it looks great with a RW board and aged pickup covers and knobs, and a mint green pickguard.

How's this look?

BTW, This is the real deal. This is my cousin's 81' oly white strat that
has aged into the bannana pudding color. The neck however is a
USACG neck that I tinted for him to match the body. kinda the reverse
of what your doing. :laugh2:

Re: no really, new color this time

I'll probably go with the honey blond color (whatever the hell you wanna call it) and relic it a little to fit in with the neck.
