There are two versions that were limited runs a few years back.

i still say go with something subtle and decorative. but you should do a mock up of your current puzzle idea. i'd like to see what you're talking about

I think something like the picture in the post above would look amazing! Less is more!

I like this a lot! Interweaving patterns, reminding me a Bit like new school tatto's, and not overdone, because they're open and fat lines aren't used.
I think those looks the best when the body underneath is finished to an uneven, slightly messy looks. A clean surface may look too nice and sterile.

Do patterns like those have a name to them? - I'll want to do some studying..

YES!!! PERFECT!!!

of course, i have no idea what Vova likes, but to me that is awesome as hell

 

[omgmjgg]

your thinking of the Peavey Vandenberg Custom, which was a black and white puzzle piece

 

[yevetz]

Seriously! I'm currently sanding my s470L and I got the back to where there was no paint left in about 3 and 1/2 hours. I thought I was making great time. But upon closer inspection there's a clear coat and its taking FOREVER to sand..especially by hand!

No shit - my RG7321 has taken so long I'm having to leave 2 or 3 days in between sanding sessions so I don't get too pissed off and screw it up, . There's about 5mm of fucking plastic before you get to the wood!

@Yevetz: Damn, you got lucky with the grain of that basswood! Really nice stuff, and it's good to see that at least you get a one piece body for the price you pay, haha.

You was right, that clear coat is fucking bulletproof. I was sanding it tOOOOO LONG....

So here the pics

 

[El Caco]

Looking good.

 

[matttttYCE]

that "clear coat" would be sanding sealer/grain filler

Actually, I believe it's called a big fucking pain in the ass!
But seriously, thanks for pointing that out.

Edit: The 2228 is coming along nicely. Any more ideas as to what your going to do with it? Something more along the lines of the tribal things picture? Or possibly something else? Also you've only been hand sanding this, right? Or am I mistaken?

I'll burn a puzzles on a top and stain it in different colors.

I was try to use sanding machine, but I fail. So yes all work was by a hand

 

[yevetz]

So I am make a decision to put a maple veneers on a top and back, I dunno what it will be quilted or flame or maybe something else, I'll choose when I'll be in a woodshop, next week I think. Veneer will be glued by professional luthier that was work for Fodera Stat Pokatilo. I am exited

 

[Crescent2k6]

Nice job sanding it haha I tried doing exactly the same thing to my 1527 with an electric sander and screwed up the edges pretty bad (forgot how soft basswood was). Now I have no more 1527 body (or rather a misshapen one with a screwed up neck joint), at least the neck wasn't touched. Anyway yeah congrats haha good luck on whatever you end up deciding what you want to do with it.
