Location: South of most, North of few | Since the poll has gone way over to the white side, and I really trust all your judgment... :rolleyes: I'm going with the pearl white again. Now, since Andrew brought it up, should I go with a solid eppi (NOT pearl) but maybe koa, teak, walnut, spalted maple.... or just the originals? I kind of like the multi wood originals, but may be interested in another idea. |

Have you been told by John that they can't reproduce the finish? That would make the burst the easy choice.
But... if they could do the pearl finish and inlay the abalone epis...
Make sure you're wearing your Liberace tux. |

Location: South of most, North of few | John said they do have the white pearl, it will just look much whiter due to no age yellowing. That's fine with me. I'm down to walnut or original eppies. I'll ask about inlay on them, that would be very cool. Don't know if they can do them with a solid painted top or not. Got an email in to him now about that. |

If I was having MY Ovation refinished, I'd have it done in Nutmeg -7 like my JL3. And get the abalone purfling. |
