Bump for projects finally completed.
In July of 2011, I purchased a Les Paul Studio husk that somebody had spray painted black. I was determined to put some sort of fancy burst finish on it. I tried several times, hated how it looked, and sanded it off. I should mention this guitar was all mahogany, no maple cap. I finally gave up and wanted to make it a goldtop. I finished the back and sides, and then attempted to apply a sparkly gold lacquer finish to the top. But I didn't do it right. I put it on too thick, or it was too warm when I sprayed, or something, it's gold, but not sparkly gold. Finally this year I decided "I'm just going to send it", and added all the hardware and electronics, and took it to Jimbo for a setup. Almost 12 years later, I have a playable guitar. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1674507894.jpg In April of 2016, after numerous failures with the studio body, I bought a Les Paul Peace body from Stratosphere. Same deal, no hardware or electronics, but at least this one was finished. Peaceful Orange is the name of the color. I collected all the parts, including a set of Wolfetone pickups. This took several years of watching eBay or Craigslist for just the right deal. But now they're both done. I just need to find time to enjoy them. That, and the wife seems to have buried my amp under piles of fabric she's bought for her quilting hobby. At least I think it's under there. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1674507929.jpg And yes, we haven't taken down the tree. It's in the family room in the basement, and other than her quilting, neither of us go down there. |
