Decided to go Gloss Black on the body,neck, and headstock. I usually don't like gloss on necks but I think it looks clean on this one.

I'll probably keep it this natural/charcoal denim, but I may pull the gloss back off and re-stain it darker and seal it again. Not sure yet. I definitely like the earthy look.

Thanks man! I think the black pickup rings, black tuners, and clear knobs will pull it together. I'll probably offer it up for sale/trade if anyone is interested? :rawk:

Ok. I am DEFINITELY going to have my CE24 redone. I dig the black but I know there is sexy wood under there.

Oh no worries man. I know you have a business to run. I'll definitely post pics. I really need to start looking at some finish colors. Also need to decide if I want sating or glossy.

If I was planning on keeping this long-term, I probably would of went with my original idea and did a deep forest green to black burst.

It looks awesome. How much are you thinking of putting it up for? :hmm: Hypothetically of course.

Thanks man. I'm not 100% happy on the distressed denim look, as I prefer a darker denim but its pretty cool for what it is. I didn't spend much time on it, haha.

I'm not sure what to list it for to be honest. I'm open to offers though! I'll post complete pics here in a sec.

I have black PRS pickup rings as well, but I wanted to see what the cream would look like first. Is $1000 plus shipping a fair price since it no longer has the logo or serial # on the back? I have the serial # though and have the original pics showing what it was.
