As a regular browser of this site I have come to the conclusion that rockabilly69 tends to speak a lot of

common sense and is worth listening to.

 

Yeah...once in a while....

or Red Tobacco Burst (not sure the exact scheme):

I have it narrowed down to these two.

 

In "Heritage talk," that would be "chestnutburst." Speaking as a Southerner: Man...ain't ne'er seen no red 'baccer! An I been primin' and pullin' all ma life on Daddy's 'lotmint.

Or Brockburst. Just to confuse the issue!

Nope..I want black on the edges...

 

Aren't any with black on the edges as far as I know. ? They may look black in photos, sunset burst in particular, but they're not black at all.

I pretty much typed this entire post, then deleted it, as I didn't want to preach at you. But I agree with this 100%.

Duh, now that I think of it there was a silver burst 140 anniversary model a while back, I presume the edges would be black on that

I LOVE Brockburst - but that's a Gibby color, right? I don't think Heritage has that.

my 2 cents - if you're choosing between 'tobacco sunburst', or "Red Tobacco Burst", and going for a classic look, I'd choose the Tobacco burst.... but, by the time you are ready to order this, you may change your mind 100X.

If I ever have a chance for a custom order, a bound but bare ebony board is what I'd do too.

This seems a cool idea too

That's a H-150 Deluxe. Dave up in finishing came up with that.

Yes I think he has already moved on. Too bad, he had a true passion for any work he did. Good guy!

If it's a custom order, tell them OSB with the edges black. They get close to that anyway.

 

As for no dots on the FB - bad idea. It may be cool to you, it may be cool to a few others -- but!! If the time comes you need to, or just want to sell it that choice will drastically narrow the field for potential buyers. You may think you're going to keep your custom order forever, most people do. But just look at all the custom ordered jobbers we see for sale, either here, on CL, Ebay, wherever. My thoughts are yeah, custom order your guitar, but don't crazy on custom appointments that are too far out of the norm, or can't be easily changed (surrounds, pickups, pg/no pg, things like that). You'll still love that guitar ... for a while.

Those were my thoughts too,Tulk1. But then, why do a custom if you can't make it yours? If you don't get some eccentric appointments, one may as well buy off the shelf.

If I chose the Red/Black finish, it will be a bare ebony board. If I go the tobacco burst, it will basically be a run of the mill 157.

 

yeah, that sucks. Kind of like a run o' the mill Ferrari. meh.

Agree completely.

 

If your going custom order, do whatever you want, that's the point. If your going into it with the mentality of sacrificing the appointments you really want solely because the resale market may be limited by your choices; then maybe you shouldn't get a custom order. You can't put one foot in the pool on a custom order, jump in the deep end and get something you've dreamed of with everything YOU want, or find one on the shelf that suits you close enough that you can later have a larger resale market for. Just my opinion.
