Thats rather odd. Light tan/ off white of all colors.

Thats really good news but how does it exactly have light tan finsih? 

Overtone now has a gloss light tan fiinish? Or is that a marshall? 

That's really useful and cool. If I had access to that years ago, I would've been able to do a lot with my custom guitars.

Anyway on second thought, I actually like the Ceriatone faceplate and might settle on those. What I dont actually like 100% is the HRM logo. When fate permits, I'm getting a Bluesmaster too and I would probably go ahead with a customized chassis finish. Thanks to you guys its all clear in my head now how to approach this.

Oh you mean the lettering would be left unpainted like showing the shiny metal underneath the powdercoat? That's a bit more achievable I think an I'm used to do letterings and some graphics usually on guitar using masking xacto knife stencils and what not. Its just my priority to make it look as professional as possible and I wanna be able to literally copy the Ceriatone logo from the faceplates.

I also noticed most builds have the wires to the sockets overlapping sometimes almost parallel. I've read that you should make any overlapping or crossing wires perpendicular as much as possible.

Thanks. I guess masking could be done with powdercoating. I'm researching about silk screening now.

I have an incoming kit.

I kind of want a unique look. I'm thinking of matte powder coat like TR. I have found a local service for just that though I need to know which areas need to be left bare maybe the strip of tube socket areas like on TR. Then the ground lugs. So do I need to maintain metal contact with the knobs and jacks/ switches? Note that I wouldn't be using the plastic? face plate/ back plate.

And any ideas to make a neat white Ceriatone lettering on the part where the name should be on the chassis? How about knob, jacks and switch labels? Can the powder coating service company provide lettering job? What do ppl like TR do? Is that silk screen?

Thanks a lot! I've read all 56 pages minus threads I skipped. I'm stoked to be posting for the first time in this fun Ceriatone community.
