I'm partial to a nice off-white, myself.

Off-white is timeless and will really go well with the binding. Yep, I'm with Sarah on this one

Guys and gal(s), ya gotta help me out here.
Oigun is getting ready to paint this gem and I'm still not sure what color I want.
All I know is; NO burst!
What do you all say? Remember the body binding is black.
Shoot!

pearl white with a tortoise pickguard...the black binding will really set it off.

[Sarah93003]

Now that's what I'm talkin' about!!

Hi guys and Sarah, My personal choice would be Ermine white, that is the whitest white you'll ever see its a 1963 chev corvet color and if it has a black binding, with a black pick guard it will look sharp. My other choice would be the perlesent white like whats on the new Cadalacks, if there is no binding on the body.

Thanks for chiming in everybody and as much as I love the way 'white-ish' Mo's look, Oigun and I decided to go another route.
Guitars and cars are about the only things that one could consider 'cool' and where color/finish is a real issue. Since most guitars get finished in automotive paints we decided to take a look at what cool colors come on what cool cars.



Now is that a color for a surf guitar or what? I should have had Oigun put in chrome binding...

guess that's right, the green hardly shows in this pic though.
But a Volvorite it'll be...
