Picture Request: SS Ice Blue

[Rossie]

Hi guys,

It's been a long time since I logged onto the forum... Been busy at work and stuff...

I'm getting a SS any time soon, and the Ice Blue color caught my eye on the MM site... Any full frontal of it?

And anyone has a maple neck version?

Thanks!

Here's our very first sighting

and here's one I Photoshopped.

Brasco: the JP is beautiful! It looks really nice with that color...

Luc: erm... It looks alittle green? Maybe the lighting?

Foogy: Love the rosewood board with the blue pearloid pickguard! Can you do one with maple neck and keep the blue pearloid pickguard? Thanks!

Quick answer: yes
reality: it'll be a while before I can get to it.

Matching headstock would be sweet, like on this Stingray.

I know, horrible pic, but it was the first one that came to my mind when the question was asked

Oooooh I love that color, especially the Silo that Luc posted... yummy.

Foggy: I can wait!

Slingy: That's nice!

Anyways, Can I choose the color of the pickups? I really like the blue pearloid with white pickups... Very classy... I just don't know why I'm so attracted to this color... Was always thinking about getting a white on white SS eventually... But when I saw this color, it looks almost like a giant sweet, in a good way...

 

[fogman]

ok.
remind me next week if i don't happen to get to it.

Wah... You got caught by the SS bug ah?

 

[Rossie]

Always wanted one, bro...

Just didn't know what options to get!

What do you think of my choice?

 

[whitestrat]

Love the Ice Blue... But the blue pearloid to me would be too much blue. I'd go Ice Blue, and vintage pearloid.

But... why maple? Troublesome to keep clean... Heh...

 

[Rossie]

Dunno...

Maple seems to suite the whole light-colored scheme of the guitar...
Although the rosewood board still looks stunning with ice blue...

Can I choose black/white pickup covers?

Short answer: no. I think. It depends on the pickguard you choose. nDark colours come with black. Light colours come with white. But why Vintage Pearloid comes with black, I have no idea. Maybe BP is a closet Blackmore fan?

For me, the necks should have contrasts. dark bodies with maple necks, light bodies with RW. Then I got a Candy Red SS, with a RW, and it looks fine. So I guess it's up to you in the end.

Whitey: now you've said it... I agree! The contrast seems to bring out the guitar more!

But would like to see foggy's PS-ed one first before making my decision...

The Ice Blue looks really cool on the JP too!
