If it's a "fish tail", I'd recommend a grayish type finish. However, if it's a "steerhead", I'd recommend some earth tones, browns, tans, etc.

I have no beef with that. Let Paul FINish and get back to his work.

That guitar will certainly have sole ... but wouldn't a fishtail be more appropriate on a bass?

(O.K., I'll stop carping about these fishy puns, before they get crappie!)

Good, Doc. 'Cause you're giving me a haddock.

Well, whenever I receive my acoustic, whether it be "fishtail" or steerhead", I will be thrilled to the gills.... :lol:

On a fishtail headstock, where do you place the tunas?

Oh Mercy ... this is getting rather finny.

Since we're hell bent for fish-leather here, I took the liberty of putting together a set list of dubious origins which will have jwilli breaking in that new fishtail in grand style:

Sea Eeled With A Kiss
Whale Meat Again
Heart And Sole
Salmon Chanted Evening
That's A Moray!
Clam Every Mountain
Send In The Clownfish
It Haddock Be You
Kelp!
You Walrus Hurt The One You Love
Sole Train
Piranha Happy Face
Big Gulls Don't Coi
It's Cheaper To Kipper
The Lobster Mash
I'll Be Loving You, Walrus
Hooked On A Feeling


and that eternal favorite,
You Don't Send Me Flounders Anymore

I really didn't want to do it, but you guys haddock coming :twisted:

Oh Sharks, I am not sure jaws how much more I can take of this eel-gotten tomfoolery.
