Albino Dinky...GMW, here I come?

[Mr Graphic]

Well, this is quite the guitar. It's VERY light, and plays/sounds fantastic. This is my first Dinky and it is very comfortable. I'm thinking it needs a neck pickup, so maybe a trip to GMW is in order...did I hear someone say black sharkfins too? [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Black sharkfins would look very nice!! Hope you leave the body in its natural state, because it looks sweet!! [img]graemlins/drool2.gif[/img]

Nah, no paint for this one. Maybe someone with Photoshop skills can work up a preview?

That body would look awesome in a 50's style Fender white blonde.

I think this guitar is awsome....I'm sure a neck pickup will help you get more use out of her. If GMW can do Ebony Shark Fins, go for it!!!

I like having a neck pup too but, it sure looks sweet without!

I dont like single coils but, a lil 59 or lil SD might be the way to go if you want a hum sounding neck pup.

I like black shark fins but, it looks good like that too.

I'm thinking neck pickup is a go, and leave the fretboard as it is.

Re: Albino Dinky...GMW, here I come?

I agree about leaving the inlays (none) alone. But I'd give that body a nice sunburst finish of your choice. [img]graemlins/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

A two-tone SB like the early Ash body Strat's WOULD look killer...hmmmm.

Dude, just leave it be. I love the understated look of that guitar.

Re: Albino Dinky...GMW, here I come?

I agree.. it is perfect the way it is. There are a ton of Dinkys out there exactly as you describe. Wait for GAS to set in and pick one of those up, instead of altering this one of a kind instrument.

man, I wouldn't touch a thing. It's beautiful just as it is

Re: Albino Dinky...GMW, here I come?

Truth is, adding a neck pickup is the only change I'm seriously debating...

Add a piezo bridge instead, and put in a push-pull knob to select between the two.

I wouldn't do anything to her. Perfect the way it is, IMO.
