 A real blueburst? | ||

A fantastic looking guitar and different from the stock finish. What I like about the lighter finish is that it is more in keeping with the traditional fireglo shading. At the same time, Mary Chapin-Carpenter's finish is more washed out than the blueburst coming out of the factory and so I can see why the darkened center was adopted by RIC. | ||

I prefer the darker finish, and to add insult to injury, I don't think that black pickguard is doing the guitar's looks one smidgeon of good! | ||

echo to Pauls comment.... I can't wait to see my 4004cii's blueburst finish....without the binding, it should look fantastic!! | ||

Not to say it won't look fantastic, but I really liked how the binding looked with someone's 4003 here. Can't remember his name... But it's the only one that I know of! You'll have to post pictures either way, I'm no expert on the basses but I think the 4004 series usually get figured wood. It should still look fantastic. | ||

I like the black pickguard. I think it contrasts well with the white center. A standard white one might give the guitar a washed out look. | ||

I think her finish is just too magenta looking. Oh, you were talking about her guitar, never mind!  | ||

Howdy, Pretty guitar. I'll bet it'd look even better with a white pickguard and TRC. Obviously YMMV  Larry | ||

Black certainly contrasts more than white would, with the light wood center. But "more" is not always "better" in things visual. And what looks good to the eye is not always that which makes sense to the left side of the brain. Huh? |
