Univox Badazz project

Post by Blazin420ChronicSkunk »

I'm getting a three week break in school in about three weeks, for Christmas obviously. I'm thinking about spending the time building the Univox Badazz I bought from Yun way back. So, at the moment, all I have for it is the stripped body and the neck, which probably needs some fret work and needs the binding reglued.

I'm going to make/get made a custom pickguard for it, and I'm thinking of using these pickups:

Neck pickup

Bridge pickup

I'm having trouble deciding what finish/pickguard combination to use on this. I'm thinking surf green with red tort, like Hurb's Jazzmaster.

I voted OTM/brown tort, but if you did Surf Green with Brown tort instead of Red tort then that would have gotten my vote.

What is OTM?

And I second Billy's suggestion, Surf green + Brown tort would be nice.

Yea... it's a lot brighter of a color though. But it is pretty close to my bronco.

Inca Silver would be nice too. Or whatever Cowbell's Jag-stang is.

I don't want to go blue, white, or burgandy mist, as I already have a sonic blue Mustang, white Bronco, and I want a burgandy mist Jazzmaster eventually. Inca Silver is definatly being considered though.

Alright, I'm thinking Inca Silver would be a good choice. What color pickguard though? Maybe one of those black pearloid things, or brown tort?
