Blackheart Loomis, Stage one

[HighGain510]

you should just gunstock oil the back of the neck

+1 Gunstock oil that neck man! Great idea, never a huge fan of the color scheme on the Loomis so it will be pretty neat to see what it looks like with a more sinister-looking color combo!

This is an Awesome idea. However I think if you oiled the body it would look pretty good as well.

Well done so far.

With a dark stain this could look very cool

I love the grain of the wood, anything to bring that out is a

That first couple of goes with the sand paper would've been interesting to watch

When I had my Loomis the idea of refinishing it with a dark blue stain crossed my mind as I didn't like the stock finish.

Looks interesting so far, cool stuff

cool man, i've always hated the look of the maple board and unfinished headstock when the body was that sexy sexy dark red, if that guitar came with an ebony board and matching headstock, i'd have probably crapped my pants the first time i saw it

good luck on this, i assume you're gonna match the headstock to the body?

This is making me want to do things to my satin black demon 7 FR. Can't wait to see the finished result, and yes, balls of pure steel it must have taken to sand down a loomis

Black stain on ash might make it look like that cheap particleboard furniture.

Maybe use black grain filler and a dark gray/charcoal stain.
