Looks like a fun project.

I don't normally associate diamond plate with the beach but I'm interested to see the outcome all the same

Can't wait to see the finished product. Can't beat Surf Green for a color.

true, after looking at them both, i think it'll be a black guard since the neck is ebony and the nut is black.

Is that sea foam ?

 

[Tele-Monster17]

yes. color looks weird on camera, but in person its seafoam. I tried it with an antique white guard too.

Here is a color I did for my brothers tone bomb. Design masters robins egg blue…
It’s just the best blue I’ve ever seen,
But like you said the camera doesn’t capture the color always

Oh that looks really good.. the sea foam strat I painted seems too bold vs yours. I used reranch sea foam too… I agree tho it’s a hard color to photo properly… I also have a coral tele (aka faded fiesta) and it can look orange, but it’s really kinda flamingo ish

This is sea foam, robins egg and Daphne… crazy how close but so different they are

wow. their all nice!
