Black Dog Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) This just arrived at Wildwood for me and hopefully will ship out today. It's a R6 but obviously with a quilt top, so it's not really historically correct but they still serialized it as a R6 anyway.

It was spec'd out as a "lightly quilted" top but it looks like they missed the "lightly" part. I'm not complaining. ☺️ ' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is indeed Root Beer! I've already got a Gold Top so I didn't really want another gold guitar. I thought about Ox Blood, and I almost went with that but obviously picked this instead. I like how it turned out, though I am wondering how it would look with black plastics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tman Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) Not to disagree with Mr. Fineman but since you have a goldtop, and I assuming with the usual cream plastic, you should absolutely go for black. It'll look like a custom in my humble opinion! Even consider black speed knobs. 😄 Edited March 12, 2020 by Tman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dog Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 Just got some specs from WW before they shipped. It has a '60s V2 neck that is .82/.92 and it weighs an amazingly light 7.98 pounds! It's coming Fedex overnight so I should have it tomorrow 9 minutes ago, Tman said: Not to disagree with Mr. Fineman but since you have a goldtop, and I assuming with the usual cream plastic, you should absolutely go for black.

Kinda like a root beer vanilla ice cream float. I haven't had one of those for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twang Gang Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 With the crème binding I say stick with the crème plastics, they set off the brown in the quilt very nicely. I don't think black would look as good and no speed knobs either, they aren't '56 enough. Of course my opinion and $2 will get you on the bus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, if I did put black knobs on they'd have to be top hats. But, I seriously doubt I'll change anything. I was just thinking about it. Of course, I have yet to see it in person. Just a few more hours though and she'll be here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
