Open to suggestions?

The transparent blue/violet burst. Definitely. That would be amazing, I think....

But then you know how biased I am towards colors on that end of the spectrum! :mrgreen:

It's in my head. But the PMS color upon which it's based can be googled. I've been wanting to do something in this color for a long time now.

Paul, I would suggest that it be finished just like your 365. But then that means that your would have to redo the 365.

Richard, the 365 stays as is...and just perhaps the 072 will look better than it sounds, and better than the 365...

Hmmmmm......... if it was to be mine I'd be going for the traditional AFG or the Montezuma Brown style but I'd be looking for a reddish hue in the latter.

Lubbly jubbly as always, Paul!! :D

I am secure in your perspicacity that your Blew Boyah would never yellow out to a greenish blend, should you ever choose to do one :P

Great Caesar's Gretsch, man, that color "sunbusrst" is a new one on me! And on behalf of all of us here at the Daily Planet, it is a new one on all the rest of us as well. Clark? Class? anyone?

Amen, brother! I constantly hit the ; instead of the ' on this Micro$oft natural wireless KB when going for contractions. The cheap keys on the Micro$oft Chinese-made product are not injection molded, and thus when they start to wear, the lettering on each key wears off and the key goes blank. Since I am an 80%-touch typist, that extra 20% gets me and I wind up misspelling without meaning to do so...
