Re: M-3 California Combo
That looks great! It would be even cooler with black pickups, tortoiseshell binding and a tortoise pickguard...

Re: M-3 California Combo
Will be posting a video as soon as possible. It's still got a big hollow body sound! The neck pickup sounds amazing, rolling the tone back to about 75% gives you a nice Lucille-esque tone.
Yes, would've looked great with a tortoise shell pickguard but the customer wanted this all-white monochrome look. It did surprise us, we thought it would look a little bland but it actually turned out pretty sharp. Super-clean looking.

Re: M-3 California Combo
Gorgeous! While not my tastes personally, I think the all-white has a minimalist, all business look. Funny you mention Lucille, as that one's all black - maybe this is the evil Lucille from a parallel universe?

Re: M-3 California Combo
Great job with the build Matt.
I think the owner totally blundered with his/her color and trim options, that guitar is screaming for black or tort accents. Then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Now post progress shots of mine please!!!!!!!

Re: M-3 California Combo
I thought tortoise or black pearloid would've looked really neat.
It would look really great played in a band that wears tuxedos.
