Hi all,

Please excuse the really dumb question, but here goes....

I'm in the planning stages for my next project, an ES 335. What I'd like to do is finish the edges (top & bottom of body, neck, headstock with a gold material. problem is, my old brain cannot remember what that is called. [headinwall]
The plan is for a guitar that pays tribute to Alex Lifeson's Es335, but has some personal touches. Gold pickups, knobs, tuners, etc.....

Can anyone here help a forgetful old man out?

Thanks in advance,
Robb :oops:

Yeah, but that's a REAL bad picture of him. Saw them Last year, and he had certainly aged, but not that bad.
(besides, he has aged better than I!)
