Post by wittyair »

OK all you creative types.....I just picked up a rather reasonable Mapleglo 330.....very nice condition.
I'd like to have a bit of fun with it....it's too nice for a refin.....let's hear some suggestions what I could
do with the pickguard/TRC or anything else anyone can think of.

Brushed Steel
Paisley pattern
Reconstituted Glass ( Smokey Glass)
Rust effect
Clear plastic
Purple TRC/pickguard
or disguard them both and re-design to your own spec.
Yeah new design and new shape that would be cool..........

WOW....that WOULD be great. Probably out of my budgetary range at the moment.

Or you could drop a couple of colored glow sticks down the sound hole-no batteries or wires required. :D :D

Back to mods:
Vintage TRC and knobs(black, not oven)
Toaster covers to mod your hi gains with
Accent vibrato.

If that's too expensive, just get some black electrical tape a la Paul Kantner to put a couple of racing stripes on the body... :twisted:
