Quoted from zombywoof:You have that beautiful green-swirl body. That should be the center of attention. That’s why I originally went with the rosewood dot neck and color matched green pickups. You want those elements to disappear. I feel like the other feature options just compete with what should be the primary focus: the color dipped guitar body.
Whatever way you go, I really appreciate your sharing your process here. That was a bold move, to take a guitar that you have owned for so long and risk the plunge. Well done!
Thank you. And thanks to everyone for your advice. I posted this on a couple of my guitar forums too, and the consensus is definitely with the maple fretboard with the pyramid inlays. The disagreement is definitely with the pickup color - about half are for green and half for the purple. Some actually suggested doing a different color in both the neck and bridge positions, which I certainly could do. This will be a last second decision, after I reshape and finish the neck. When it's complete and reassembled (in a few weeks) I will post the final result!
