New 6 string build - finish suggestions?

[JesseTheMachine]

Hey all,

I've finished my 7-string build (finally! picstory coming soon once I collect all the pictures from various digital cameras), and now I'm in the process of designing a new 6-string.

It should look like a cross between a BC Rich Avail and a Mockingbird and it will have all black hardware and a hand-carved knob of some sort.

But I've been torn deciding what colour finish to apply to it... Some of my thoughts are:

- gloss black

- vampire's kiss style transparent

- or camoflage...

But those are just some ideas... what would you guys prefer to see?


Oh yea, and instead of the fugly headstock that's on the Avail, it's going to have one like those found on a very limited number of B.C. Rich guitars:

finish it in natural, it'd look sexy

I would do it natural, but that's how I just did my 7-string build, more or less. So far I'm leaning towards the vampire kiss finish, it just seems most appropriate.

I love camoflage finishes too, but I think they're suited to a more strat-shape bodystyle...

BTW apparently the basic body shape I was talking about is actually known as the BC Rich Ignitor, and it's serious awesomeness:
