SEE MY POLE

Post by DGNR8 »

I have three full cans of paint for the XII (if I want to leave it to chance): Shell Pink, Oly White, and Copper Tone. This is using a white pick guard. Copper is nice, but bland, a giant pink guitar may be a bit PHALLIC, and a white guitar with a white guard could be extreme, messianic, or cool.

Of course, I do have that can of orange. I could always paint the Mustang white. Oh, I shouldn't have gone there.

Why do you do all white with a black racing stripe?

Funny. Until yesterday I was set on white. I don't think I have ever shot Oly. One advantage is that it is a stock color to the XII. I have tried to mod a pup cover (for the mandocaster) and wasn't thrilled with the results. Guess I need to practice. It would be nice in black (like piano keys) or also white with the long switch as the lone black feature.
