i sent rod my smashstang as payment for doing this job. its going to be awesome.
here is the present state of the bronco 2 days ago before taking it to the post office
right now im thinking seafoam green with 2 coats of yellow over it to make it extra grimey.
if any one has better ideas for color combos take this photo and fuck with it, to gimme some new ideas.

I actually think that plaid style paintjob looks really cool. I'd go for that.

it looks nice as it is. but if you're definitely getting it redone i'd opt for a straight seafoam + clear combo. or fiesta red but with a white guard. oh yes.

It's not my guitar and my opinion doesn't matter at all, but I would go fo a sold color and stay away from any kind of metalic. I'm digging the idea of tinted sea foam green. It'll be a dirty snotty color. Still though, I'm not sure how it's gonna look with brown tort....?

I think that Shell Pink, plus tint, plus tort would look sexy as hell.

The box came today and I figured I'd wait to open it till I got home from work. Got home and realized I left it in my office. I've got to work tomorrow, so I'll have a look at it then to see what kind of shape it's in.
Are you still iffy on the color? Because if your thinking about a different color than SFG I'll have to order it.

he's been telling me he wants that dirty seafoam since before he was even going to sell it, so i'd assume it's a pretty safe bet he wants that horse durrtayy.

rob: was it originally routed for a neck pickup and lower switch? looks like it's been filled in.
