8th Batch Colors/ Options. what does Everyone Want?

[Grandturk]

Yeah... Go look at one of those Road Worn pieces of shit up close.

Agree completely on the Maple fretboard relicing... it looks terrible.

Agree 1/2 on the bodies - they definately all look the same, so they use some type of pattern when they spray them - in particular the arm wear - you can tell that they taped that area off and never sprayed it - the pattern is just too exact on each one.

Disagree on the Rosewood necks - and I'll post up pics of the one I got - They didn't "relic" the rosewood - so that just looks like a normal rosewood. The headstocks got some dings on it that look "OK" and the back of the neck looks and feels "right." The only mod you must do - IMO - is polish up the front of the headstock. I hit mine with some polishing compound followed by Dunlop polish.

This

I just want a vtrem or hardtail. (brass)
I don't care the color anymore (robin's egg). I'll repaint it.
Maple boards are fine with me.

This! Please!

Heck, they look bad in just the pictures that Fender posts on their sites.

[vondran]

I'd really want a 2 tone tabacco burst SD1 or SoCal. Candy black cherry is also a cool color.

I got flamed for the relic idea! :ROTF:

[shreddermon]

I've said it before, so I'll say it again... LOL

SoCal "Pre-Meanie" (Vai's Green Meanie, in its original state before being painted it green and further mod'd):

Dinky body with vtrem or hardtail. Will it happen? Very unlikely.

SD1, Clear Acrylic Body, Chrome hardware

This could have potential.
It's be heavy as fukk though.

Single Hum, Maple Board, golf hardware, White w/ rising sun graphic

I'm interested in the golf hardware.

No really, 1H Rising Sun would be neat.

[85 San Dimas]

This could have potential.
It's be heavy as fukk though.

..plus you'd have to put a piece of wire mesh or sandpaper in the neck pocket to keep the neck from shifting on that smooth acrylic.

[Grandturk]

Or just bolt the neck to the body...

[MakeAJazzNoiseHere]

It's a great idea until someone plays it shirtless... Eeech... I don't want to think about what anyone's sweaty, hairy beer gut would look like through an acrylic San Dimas Style 1 2H.

[Flatpicker]

My sweaty, hairy beer gut resents this remark.

Now excuse me. I have to go try on speedos for the summer season.
I need something to impress the ladies...
