Made any decisions?
I thought of you when I saw
this very light application of Walnut on eBay.

That Capri with the Kauffman and tortiose/gold PG is one of the most sublimely beautiful guitars ever made, IMO.
More redbursts (hope you don't mind, Paul!):

Not at all! These are quite unusual and lovely as well!

So, Peter...
Has a verdict been reached or is the jury still out on this one? Or have you decided it's just too hard to choose and you're going to leave it as it is? Inquiring minds want to know.

If money wasn't an issue and I was changing the colour of one of my Rics, I would base it on this...........
Dark metallic green with a burst and lens glare. I would go for silver hardware, knobs and pick guard.
I would call it "Starburst"

Is there any progress to report on your project, Peter?

Congratulations, Peter!

Unless I've missed it in here, Paul did a very nice deep purpleburst on Mel's 481 as I remember.
That's one of my choices for the next outing in paint. Mind you, I change my mind on this stuff very regularly. Ask Paul W. I suspect this is how he feels as soon as I start deciding on paint.

Um, did I miss something? Was Peter's refinished 350V63 shown here?
Based on the discussion in latter part of this thread, "Project X" (see other thread) seems to fit the description of the project in question.
If so -- congratulations Peter and Paul!
