    NGD: Jackson mij dinky DKR (Refinished)

    NGL this guitar was total impulse buy. It was listed near me for around 1000€ including face-to-face delivery so i just went with it. Guitar had some scratches and dings in the body and headstock, which explained the asking price. Fret ends were sharp and fretboard was dryer than sahara. I...

    CustomGuitarFinishing.com - reviews?

    Hey all, I'm looking into getting a guitar refinished, and I have a question about one particular guy I got a bid from. Thanks to the threads here, I'm in the know about some shady, problematic shops that I'll be staying away from. I have instead found two other shops that seem safe. At this...

    Removing /applying a new top, sandblasting (Strandberg content)

    Forward: So I've done quite a bit of heavy modification to my Boden Original 8, and at this point have no intention of ever reselling. So far I have had a luthier reshape the neck, and now it's wizard 1 thin. I've had the Fishman abasis in white installed, as well as the 5 way super switch...

    Any experience with heat guns?

    So I've had a sparkly blue Ironbird for years, love the guitar hate the finish. It was a refinish, and not done that well at all. In spots you can see where it used to be red, but I have enough red guitars. In looking into stripping a poly finish, a heat gun seems to be the quickest method...

    Hi everybody! First thread here, and since I've been seeing a lot of people hesitating to refinish their RG7321 due to the aspect of the wood and so on, I decided to give it a go! A month ago, I was on the verge of selling it, but on the spur of the moment, decided to give it a new look. A...

    Solarez UV Resins for clearcoat...what do you think?

    What do you guys think about using this as a clearcoat? Looks dead easy and for someone like me without a proper shop or any spray equipment it looks super easy and that I could do my guitar in one day instead of weeks. Anyone have experience with this stuff? Apparently it's tougher than...
