This one's being built for myself so it's taken ages.

It keeps getting put on the backburner but it'll have a pair of Lindy Fralin Blues Specials in it when completed.

Maple neck with Rosewood fingerboard. The body is African Mahogany.

Rosewood bindings and a blue tint on the Maple top.

I'm thinking that gold hardware might suit as well. What do you blokes reckon?

Nice to see you, Bob...thanks for plugging in!

The rosewood bindings will look rich against the blue!

I love gold hardware and use it as often as I can!

Nice! Blue and gold work really well together, IMHO. Gold hardware gets my vote.

Thanks everyone.

As I said it'll probably take a while to complete this one but I'll throw up some pics as I get 'em. (with the gold hardware)

I reckon that's gonna be a real beauty, Bob. Sounds like a right nice color combo you've got cookin'.
