I'm looking to do it similar to the color of Dave Grohls guitar. What color is that? Pelham blue? Anyway.. The body is poplar with a spruce top. It is double bound. The headstock is like a marauder. So I want to do that swoop the same color as the body. Also maybe finishing on the neck with a standard fender logo. Here's some pics of what I'm going for. Anyone know anyone who can do that? Or if you can please PM me.

Those are Grover "banjo buttons" which are now very hard to find. Some 3+3 reissues were made but they're different to the originals, like they were sorta eyeballed and captured in essence rather than a direct reissue.

Yeah, those look nice enough but I don't like block look of the perloid. Cheers though for the info... will have a look around
Sorry to get off topic. You got someone to do the painting yet?

I found a pair the other day. 6 in a row just like the ones in the picture. They are on eBay. Vintage and EXPENSIVE. And yeah I guess Rowyco Kustoms is gonna paint it.
