it's the stock unpainted maple. due to the (bad) lighting, you can't see the wood grain.

I think a chrome cover for the neck pickup would be nice, make them match a bit. That's if you can get chrome covers for single coils, not really sure.
Or a lipstick?? Mmmmm.

GOOD CALL on that Dragonfire site ... :wink:
