restoration

Hi guys, so as the tittle says I would really appreciate some orientation and help about how to go with the restoration of this guitar. I'm absolutely in love with it and I don't think I could have picked a better first 7s. Is a 2002 7620, that I got last year trading an Ibanez dn500 + 350usd...

Hey All, Given how many of us are handy at modifying our guitars, I figured some of you must be just as good at modifying everything else in your life. I don't care if it's refinishing cabinets or just painting your phone case, lets see what you've got!

Hey. First post on this forum, so please bear with me if I screw up on something. Okay, so a while back I sent my guitar to be set up at a guitar store. Problem was, they apparently didn't have a pack of 8-strings, so they used the same string gauge that is used for the 7th string for the 8th...

I've bought this guitar in 2014, and this mid summer I've finally pulled the trigger on restoring this RGA121H-CDO. I've never been a fan of the original sparkling green color, but it didn't hold me back from buying this awesome sounding guitar. From sanding, to wood staining, from applying the...

Hi fellas! I'm about to score a very nice deal on a Mayones Setius. It's kinda of an old one, maybe from early 2000s. However, the thing is kinda busted up and it will need restoration. Lots of buckle rash and some hideous relic work the owner did on top of the finish. My main concerns about it...

Hi I'm new to this site so sorry if in wrong section. I am looking at getting a guitar that would need work doing to it. i.e. new paint job, new pick ups etc etc, Apart from the likes of ebay, is there a good site where I could buy one? (Must be in the UK). Any make, condition...

So I just ordered a used Ibanez RGT42DXFX from guitar center for a steal $179.99!!! The paint is a little messed up, but I'm gonna sand and seal and finish the beautiful maple/walnut neck through and mahogany wings anyway. I am going to replace ALL of the crappy stock Ibanez parts and want to...

Hello, I'm coming to you guys for some advice and hopefully some good news. I've got an Ibanez s470DXQM that I've had for about 2 years or so. The bad news is that it's not aged quite so well. I made the mistake of letting marching band shanghai me into being it's guitarist my senior year of...

well, a month ago, an uncles`s uncle told me that he has a guitar laying around and I tell him "I can do a restoration:hbang:" and he told me "is just a piece of crap, and I don`t want to spend too much money in that" so I reply "I can do it just for fun, to learn...you just pay the new strings...

So, after a successful poker night at my friend's house I went to take a leak before leaving but before reaching the bathroom I saw this guitar laying on his bedroom floor... So after I pissed almost 1:30 minutes worth of beer I asked him about it and if I could take it with me, since he didn't...

Gonna stick this, because a) I can, and b) It'll keep me off my ass and getting to work on it. :D So here we have my RG550. Well, it's body, anyhow. I've had it since I was about 14, and over the years it's been dropped, beat, lit on fire (no shit) and just straight up abused. It played godly...
