Okay, so I am 50/50 on whether sell this (currently in £Parts) or keep it and do the right thing and complete the job!
Looking for opinions/suggestions on the colour - any pics of your finished Jr projects welcomed too!
I don't want traditional Gibson as this is not a one and it won't have it on the headstock either - common theme on my guitars, as those of you with a sharp eye would have already spotted
It will be nitro and I think I am going to keep the back of the neck natural - just oiled as I don't like the feel of nitro on the back of my necks... too sticky.
My #1 colour at the moment is Shoreline Gold as I think it will look good on the DC without standing out too much - was even thinking of just finishing the front and leaving the back and sides just oiled like a LP, but without binding I am not sure if this finish will look any good..
Another colour I had in mind was British Racing Green or a dark solid variant.
Let me know what you think..

But I'd be tempted to go for a Gretschy orange or something pale & Fendery like surf green or daphne blue just to be different. Might give it a bit of a Fano vibe.
I guess if you went for a solid colour, you'd have a hard contrast between painted body and oiled mahogany neck? That could look cool, but if you wanted a more consistent all-over colour, you could stain the whole thing.

Then lack of patience got the better of me and I broke out the Rustins.
They are great guitars and mine gets lots of play time.
