I always loved that specific burst color, but nothing beats plain grained maple. Just a beautiful wood.

That's true. But one that i've always loved is that cherry burst on those early Musicmasters.



Or the honey/cognac brown burst on those 40s archtop Epiphones.


(quickest one i could find, but not the best example)

...now back to Maggieo's regular schedule programming.

Thirded! That's gorgeous.

I'll take both of those, please!

I like the burst on my Waterloo:


Waterloo WL-12, March 08, 2018 by Maggie Osterberg, on Flickr

Two of the things that attracted me to the Tokai is the little knot in the top, just aft of the pickguard, and the 'burst is a ringer for the mid-70's Les Paul I had in art school (and played during my audition of Soul Asylum, which I obviously bungled). I'm tempted to take the covers off the pickups, so it matches. But I'm not putting a brass nut on it!

That burst is cool, it looks like a sunset/sunrise; kind of mesmerizing. Oh, and brass nuts, why were they all the rage? I remember watching an interview with John Oates, and he was saying he even had a brass backing plate on his strat: weird.

So cool you get to, sort of, revisit your long lost memory. Oddly, i was thinking of putting covers onto two open coiled pickups, is that something you can just pop on, bend the flaps and call it a day? Maybe a solder point here or there? I've never done it, but you make it sound easy enough.

Honestly, I don't know how easy or difficult it would be, but hey, they're covers right? How hard can it be? [disaster begins]

Apparently, some double sided tape and two dabs of solder and you're off! (or on)

And even a Maybelline reference to boot.

So, maybe it's Maybelline?

The search continues!

I’ve always been a L’oreal man myself. Well in the 90s it was Avon, of course.

In the 90s. I was a straight-up MAC gal, myself.

I'm a friggin big fan of pretty much all the Japanese 70s copies (ok the ones of decent looks and quality...)

The one that's coming of from Tokai's Korean plant, but I've heard good things and for $750.00 with the Blue Box, I reckon I can't go too wrong.

Damn Those are both gorgeous, but man, that Musicmaster is to die for.

Those three magic words appeared in my inbox: Out. For. Delivery.

[Maggieo]

They're here!!!

Ahhhh, Spot looks comfy on the sofa. Conveniently close to a Princeton Reverb, too.
