i voted white, but if i were wanting to do an opaque color i'd do it in a flip-flop pearl......course i change my mind alot...

 

[eribo]

White just looks so cool....

So, how many votes do we get each? Is this the Florida system of voting here? 8)

Transparent (or semi-) low gloss lacquer after applying a tint to the new wood could also be OK - If you make a nice clean repair job it could add positively to the character of the guitar. Besides if You do a professional repair job: why try to hide it ?

Irregardless of how well the "patch" is done, the grain will not bet be the same no matter how hard I try to match it and believe me IT WILL SHOW. Therefore I have come to a decision.

Bruce, there's a historic sg on ebay now in something like blue mist, looks white to me. take a look at it. search gibson/ historic. I've been thinking of bidding on it.

(Hey Skids... I voted white too.... stands for purity.............Pure ROCK!)

 

[Sgmaniac]

Ok, looks like you need to paint it half & half, blue on white according to the results of the voting. 8)

I still keep think of pearl coats.

Pearl white - that'd look great.

But plain ol' white would be awsome too. I guess that a SG in any color is good, so they all sound good to me.

Ok so I won this 63 Junior off of ebay.

Some patching of mahogany will have to be done so a "Cherry" finish is out of the question. What color?
