Wonder whats in the box...
Lots of bubble wrap..
Oooooh!... I see somethin!
Ahhh... There she is!!
All said and done... $246 paid for the guitar with shipping!!! One hell of a steal considering its only superficial things with the paint thats the issue. Fretboard and neck look brand new. So once the "makeover" is complete... This thing will be on par with the prestige's!! Time to upgrade! Stay tuned!

Did you happen to buy it online from guitar center? I bought this one for the same price a couple of weeks ago. It was perfect (cosmetically) aside from the massive collection of dust.

Yep... GC.com used gear section. $199. Couldnt pass that up. I do love the white...
But i have bigger plans for mine... The paint is being removed / replaced anyway.
All i cared about was that the guitar was structurally sound. I dont even care if the electronics worked... Hell even the bridge is gone
The mods are in the works /ordered and on the way... So this will be a quick build for me

Got some Hipshot open gear locking tuners installed. I'd post pics, but my phone doesn't seem to want to get the pics to my computer...

Sorry guys, my phone is acting up for some reason, still.
But I like them. I have the white RG8, and since the headstock is black, I took the odd option and got chrome tuners, because I like the way they look on the black headstock, and it gives it a different look than the rest of the hardware. They do their job and they look cool.

Alright, damnit. I've got an Rg8 in white that I've sanded the black off of and painted white. Unfortunately, the last time I did this, the clear that I put on turned the damn thing off white/cream.
Can anyone recommend a spray on clear that actually dries clear?

SprayMax 2K and USE A RESPIRATOR. Even spraying outdoors, that stuff left me feeling really bad when I did some bike parts. It's clear, it stays clear and it's good enough that my fenders are showing no wear or damage after several years and I don't baby my bike.

What dye have you guys been using to 'ebonize' the necks?
And how does dying work with inlays? I've seen pics of people dying their fretboard darker both where they kept the inlays and where they dyed over them.
Is it just a matter of taping over the inlays before dying or is there something more to it? The only mod I'm really looking to do with an RG8 is dye the fretboard darker so it doesn't look so cheap.
