Silky999 Posted June 11 Posted June 11 (edited) This is an Ash body which oil sanded up to 5000 grit and having its last few finishing oil coats to be ready for a good old wax and polish. Next decision is roasted Maple neck or flame roasted Maple neck with or without a rosewood fretboard. Advice??? It will have a black pearl pick guard and black hardware.

Silky999 Posted June 13 Author Posted June 13 Hand sanded Liberon Finishing oil up to 700 grit and 3 coats of Liberon Bison wax. This one is going to be an absolute beauty! 4 Quote
PaulThePlug Posted June 13 Posted June 13 Likes a Nice bit of plain ash. Thinking of giving the SR600 a rubdown As for the neck... I don't mind pale maple necks, and quite like pale rose wood. Roasted Maple can look nice and can be kept unfinished ish, rather than going for a tint. Flame necks look a bit, well, OTT especially with a plainer grain of ash. Black Pearl, nice. 1 Quote

I think I am going roasted maple neck with black block inlays. That will work with the pickguard and black hardware. Quote
PaulThePlug Posted June 13 Posted June 13 Natural 'n Black Hardware with Blocks sounds nice... 1 Quote
