What color should the bridge and saddle be? Aesthetic help requested. That may or may not be a permanent saddle and bridge. It works fine. Plays at grade C and sounds D+. What would look right- black? white? natural wood? Some of you expert builders may recognize that this is NOT a CBG. It was a wreck of an old six string with much of the top, bottom and braces unglued and a wild hippie paint job. I did a rough glue job and sanding and painted it black and wolf.

Darn you, Bob! LOL. I got it all done with black bridge and white bone saddle. I placed a mock-up red eye on it and Linda and I both liked it better without an eye. Just a silhouette. But now, darn it, your idea sounds worth a mock-up.
Guys, I tried a red bridge mock-up and it was pretty cool. I guess I went more conservative. I like the outcome. Thanks for your interest and ideas.
Fixed up well there Uncle J. Red sounds good, though wolves can give off a nice blue-grey glint/sparkle in the eye area...!?
I don't know about the eye. I may kind of mock one up and see how it looks. Hmm. Rainy here and a bit chilly. Making me lack motivation to go out to the the shed. Pretty sure I am going to try black bridge, and if I have one, white saddle. Red eye?
Yeah, like Alan said, red eye for a Devil Wolf ;^)
That is an interesting idea, AGP!
Like Derek, I think Red, or maybe White with a Red section up around where Lobo's eye is :-)
Pews!? Puce?!?! A you are saying is give puce a chance?
Thanks, Derek. Maybe so. Will see repeat some others say. I especially want to hear from the artiste known as Dave Lynas.
Red!
