                Actually, a trans-purple flame top is under consideration, too. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

                  Hmmm. 2/3rds going for the hot rod flames, now. Interesting. Here's the deal, though...

                  Basically I agree, and the HRF would be my first choice. But I just can't seem to totally dig the thought of black hardware on the black body. If it were chrome, it'd be a no-brainer. Kind of old school, too, IMHO.

                  That's what had me leaning towards the bullseye. With the red & white scheme, I think the black hardware and black headstock face will make a cool badass contrast, accenting the graphic.

                  ...Any thoughts on that? (And please don't suggest I go full custom or do a hardware swap. Not going there. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] )

                          As usual, Tommy has trouble following direction. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Sorry, bro. To further explain, other priorities are already going the custom route. Not with this one.
