...And choice #1. OFFSET THRAD YEAH


Here's a bad reference point to mess w/your brain as well: Wrong company, shape, neck, and even finish, but still sexy in the color combo dept for many a Fender guitar/bass. I've posted pics ad nauseam, but nonetheless another of Ken's older sig from a decade back or so, the Fernandes LD85-KK.

Non of the above. Do an brown tort.

Tort is too boring for me
Anodized is life, and by any color anodized I mean any color. I cant think of any other good looking combinations, but maybe blue would work... imtrying to picture it.

Yah I'm with Nick on this one. We saw this same guitar here at shortscale, no?

It's a color combo that seems so wrong but looks so right.

Now thinking white covers; cream might be too much.

I would go with a good tort.. CAR and REAL tort is just fucking sexy . But if those are your options black aluminum is sexy too.

Was thinking myself that cream might be nice if it's a soft cream with matching radio knobs perhaps?

I think I'm actually gonna go for a blue anodized guard. Either blue or turquoise, they're putting out JM pickguards soon.

Nah man, stick with blue. CAR and turquoise sounds really weird, and not in a good way.


Red, white, and blue can look just fine

The turquoise isnt really turquoise. Its a light blue.

I can see some green in it. Thinking the blue would look way better. France and the UK are also red, white, and blue.
