How interesting. I was messing with the idea of a Gretsch-inspired bike. Not necessarily the shape, but the various features and "vibe", and with various items on the guitar having similar-purpose counterparts on the bike: the gold pickguard being the gold chainguard with Chet Atkins "signpost logo", the kickstand looking - and operating like - a Bigsby bar, the knurled silver knobs for valve covers, a faux tank plate with an "f" hole and "G" cattle brand and a small license plate that reads "6120". Even take it a bit further with the cowboy motifs (cattle skull head) and the brown leather seat and grips modeled after the tooled brown leather strip around the old orange "Roundup" models.

:wink:

Then again, I also considered a Fender-inspired "Tele 'n' tweed" type of look: butterscotch yellow paint, black trim, tweed seat and grips, Fender "spaghetti" logo somewhere, etc.

I'd love to do a bike based on the look of one of my favorite guitars...

Maybe '09.

Thank you for all your replys and your interess i am really happy!
I didn't continued to work on it for the moment, i had to go to germany for a week, family problems...
But i will work on it this week. The pedals you show smellslike1974 are beautiful but unfortunately i don't think that they can send it to france.
Some update soon!
