I am in for this, like the idea of brushed covers. Much cleaner and traditional look on a f hole guitar IMHO.

I don't want to steal anyone's thunder but Rev 4 is defined. I'll post it before I crash. This is the last Rev for the 1st forum guitar.

No problem Hans. Just thought this format might make things easier to track than combing through a 30+ page thread. If you do Rev 4 this way, and if anyone can find a description of Rev 1 like you did for 2 & 3, you could put that up and see which gets the most support.
(Although your Rev 4 tease sounds harder to resist than any of these).

Rev 4 will be the sawed off shotgun of electric guitars.
