Let the RG8 Mods begin...

is the binding basically what you would use to pinstripe a car? I am thinking of picking up some carbon fiber tape. any suggestions on tape type?

also ordered some DR strings 10-75. Goodbye floppy time!

Yup. Got my automotive tape off of ebay for a few bucks.

Cool. Would you mind sharing a link to the seller/auction or similar tapes? My pinstripe for boats is starting to fall off (put the guitar in a stand, it didn't like that... )

1 4" x 36' White Single Pin Stripe Striping Tape | eBay

1 8" x 36' White Single Pin Stripe Striping Tape | eBay

Those are the 2 that I bought if the link works for you. I used the 1/4 on the body and the 1/8 on the headstock. Its really cheap and comes with plenty so you can easily redo it it even if you mess up a few times

quick question everyone, I want to refinish my RG8 with one of these colors. Do I have to sand the paint of off the guitar or can I cheat and just spray it on?

Definitely gotta sand it.

you dont have to take it all the way to the wood, but like zeno, you do have to at least lightly sand it for the primer & paint to stick.
