Thanks, dude. Glad you dig it!

Yeah, man. It took a good five or six hours to strip the body. I used a power sander for the bigger parts of the body and a dremel to get into the cutaways. Hand sanding would've taken days. For the neck I just hand sanded, I didn't want to take too much away-only the gloss finish. I did end...

Sorry for the delay in updates. I've had a busy few days and haven't been able to get much work done until today. So I got the body all clearcoated, I'm just waiting on the final layer to finish up drying. That walnut finish in all of its glory. I also bought a gold logo to...

Hey, ladies (doubt it) and gents, I made a bit more progress today :). Firstly I got the headstock stained to match the walnut on the back and sides of the body. I'm waiting for a replacement Ibanez logo in the mail! The back in all its glory. I might throw another layer of stain on...

Just one more pic for you guys tonight. I got the back stained and this Walnut color is looking absolutely outstanding :)

Thank you, man! It's looking pretty awesome thus far. I can't wait to get done with it!

Nice, man. I'll upload a picture in a bit. The darker Walnut colored stain on the back is done and it looks absolutely gorgeous! The sides of the guitar are going to prove to be a challenge though.

That was actually my intention :agreed:. Once I can afford it I'm going to grab a gold Hipshot 7 bridge and Gold Planet Waves Autotrim tuners. I ordered a gold replacement Ibanez logo today.

Thanks, guys. The purple is looking pretty wild so far. I'll probably smooth it out with some 0000 steel wool and add one last layer. I think I'm going to get started on the Walnut tonight as well. I can't wait to see how it looks done with satin polyurethane.

If a mod wants to move this to the luthiery/modifications board that's fine. I don't know why I posted it here. Anyways here's what I've done thus far today: I got all of the paint off of the headstock and remaining clearcoat from the body. I also wet sanded with a 220 grit sandpaper...

Keep an eye on the thread if you want, man. I'll be posting updates until it's done!

Haha fuck yeah, man. I'm not too happy about the cold season setting in. But there's always plenty of beer to help deal with that ;)... But yeah dude. I'm too poor to buy a new guitar now and I seriously love the neck-my only gripe being it's too glossy. Sand that finish off (and maybe rough...

I actually know what I'm doing already. I'm basing it off of another mod I saw on the forum a while ago. I'm staining the top a really cool cherry blossom purple I found and staining the back a nice dark walnut color to match the stripes in the neck. I'm also going to sand the gloss from the...

Hey, guys. I started doing a refinish on my old boring looking 7321 today. I figured I'd make a little build diary here for you folks ;) So far I've taken her apart and gotten the body sanded (and inhaled pounds of dried paint and clearcoat). I'll be finish sanding and checking out the stains...

I received this as a graduation gift from my parents over the weekend-it's a great guitar and I'm loving everything about it :)... It was made in 1996, purchased in 1997, and has seen virtually no wear!

There's your problem. You've only played one at guitar center. Get the post up past 3-4 and they sound amazing. Throw a boost in front and a noise gate in the front and loop and you're golden. Also the 5150 and 6505 are the same amp.

Wow, thanks for all of the responses, guys. I really want to get this degree though and teach myself at the same time simply because there is so much that I don't know that I can't properly teach myself (my experience with recording drums, for example, goes no further than SD2.0)...I also have...

Well I'm going to school for it starting in the fall (the degree I'm receiving is for music production)-but I just have had so many people tell me how useless a degree in music is. I don't see it that way, though.

Sorry for how this was laid out-it was a post I made on Facebook-but I felt it was relevant enough to post here. The post was: "People often ask me: Why am I choosing to pursue music as a career? They say it’s a useless thing to go to school for. They say it will get me nowhere. But...
