I like all 3 . . . but agree that the red 'gibson' one has a (visual) problem which I think is related to the monochrome black pick guard, it's to much of a 'black slab'. I don't know how handy you are with photoshop but superimposing a different skin on the pick guard (my first inclination was tortoise shell but green which may be ridiculous) may 'solve' the visual problem.

Oh and I wonder how it would look with a wrap bridge instead of the tele style . . . just not a fan of the look of those . . . although that probably means another design change (recessing the bridge OR raising and/or angering the neck).

When thinking about any advice given always ask yourself "why would (s)he know more than I do".

Thanks a lot.. hpr_hpr & HH1978

Just to make things clear - The green guitar is the same guitar as the blue and red..

The red color was to light and looked silly :k so I repainted it green. It used to be blue, I was aiming for something close to pelhamblue but
made a wery strange choise in the paintshop.. :wtf: :fp:

The blueguitar ( now green) have been built up with a wraparoundbridge.

The studs in the body started to tilt to much and I really couldn´t get the setup and intonation right (Maybe no wonder with a bridge designed for 24,75 on a 25,5 scale guitar) also It was the cheapest piece of crap bridge i could find, so that probably didn´t help either.. So I filled the holes for the studs and bought the toploader bridge..
