Agreed,and i just noticed my previous post implied all 4003s....what i meant to say is i think the walnut ones look a bit stark with white pickguards.finlover wrote:Absolutely! I love the contrast of the metallic with the beautiful grain of the walnut. The white looks great with solid colors though.

I completely agree--the white is a little jarring next to the walnut, it kind of draws the eye away from the nice woodgrain. I wonder if a multi-ply black pg and matching trc might look nice on walnut, 4002-style!

I love the look of the gold with the maple. I may just have to go that way with my 330/12.

Thank you, gentlemen! I just treated it to a vintage-style case. I'll probably take it to most gigs in the trusty SKB though so as not to scuff the beautiful silver tolex!ram wrote:nice chunk of wood there!!! I really like every thing about it! Congratulations!

Unlikely - I'm one of the few (apparently) who really don't care for those knobs...finlover wrote:Oh YEAH!!! You could even go with matching TV knobs!eatswodo wrote:I love the look of the gold with the maple. I may just have to go that way with my 330/12.

Yeah, I can see how they might seem a little over the top.

I think TV-knobs rule, but only on 4-control (or 2-control) guitars...
