Thanks guys! Maciek says it looks way better in person, too. He's going to snap a couple better pics on Monday. I do actually like the look of it this way as well... I just think an even fade all the way to the binding (like in some places) will look more "finished" for lack of better term. A faded denim blue, like to the left of the pickups, would look sweet on the horns as long as the fade goes to the edges all the way around the body.
But Capo is right, you could almost just slap some hardware on there right now and be done with it! haha
