Flame Maple Neck, Ebony Fretboard
I like this idea.The guitar has a lot going on already. The ebony board will be soothing to the eye. So carry that on with the headstock overlay in ebony with subtle white mop birds with paua outlines. The paua will pickup the sub sero stain with subtlelty and with class. This guitar will be a beautiful instrument with these sublte finishing touches.
Another quick note - as there are TONS of inlay materials out there:
When we came up with the Subzero color with PRS, Chrysocolla birds matched almost perfectly.

I was gonna suggest that, but thought maybe you'd want something different...that is awesome though.Another quick note - as there are TONS of inlay materials out there:

I like this idea.
me too, but my designs have been described as "austere" by my pusher.
What he said !Tequila Sunrise Dragon's Breath!

594 Semi-Hollow, One piece Quilt top, Black Limba Body (natural), Subzero Glow top finish
Question #5
WHAT SHOULD THE NECK AND FRETBOARD WOOD BE?
Tips:
-This question includes votes for heel caps
-This guitar will have the standard 594 neck carve
-Curly Maple fretboard and headstock binding is stock on a Private Stock 594
-This question does NOT include votes for headstock veneer or fretboard inlays - Those come next.
Mammoth ivory for both parts.OK folks-
I tallied everything up - looks like Black Limba neck with Ebony fretboard with no heel cap wins!
So now we have a
594 Semi-Hollow
One piece Quilt Top
Subzero Glow
Natural Black Limba body and neck
Ebony fretboard
Question #6
WHAT SHOULD THE INLAY MATERIAL AND HEADSTOCK OVERLAY BE?
Tips:
-The inlays will be birds with outlines and headstock will have the PS eagle (I dont believe we can use 20th birds on a 594)
-The fretboard and headstock will have natural curly maple binding and to keep the price in check, no purfling suggestions please.
-My thought is that for headstock veneer the only options are quilt stained Subzero or Ebony to match the board, but Im open to suggestions!
