It has been a while since we've showed any of the Tipton progress, so here's a little update. Glenn wanted an off-white color so Gary sprayed out a white base coat on the guitar first. Then he mixed and shot two slightly shaded variations using our variant system tints.
I emailed this exact photo to Glenn on the road to get his feedback. Usually, we send the actual samples to our customers along with a form to sign for approval, but in this case it wasn't practical. We'll have to live with the color shift from the video monitor.
Glenn liked the yellower version to the left, so Gary went ahead and sprayed out the guitar. Glenn also suggested that we put a sightly contrasting color on the bevels to make them stand out. I suggested that perhaps we didn't want it to be overtly noticeable, just enough to give the guitar depth under the lights, and he agreed. Gary had the idea to use a little shaded pearl tint powder, so we went with that.
I think it's looking good—slightly different for Mr. Tipton, but cool nonetheless. here's the headstock.
