Livewire refinish! RG7421

[oracles]

So a little while I ago I got a hold off a fellow forum member, Jawbreaker (great dude to trade with btw) with plans of refinishing. I've always liked swirls, and a friend of mine has an RG7420 that used to belong to nwb_pwn that I've always loved, and since he won't sell it to me, I just had to have my own!

Here's what we started with (on left)

Thanks to Michael at Livewire and the incredible job he and his team have done, here's the finished product!

HUGE thank you to Michael and everyone over at team Livewire. These guys are incredibly skilled at what they do, and I couldn't be happier with the final product. I can't recommend working them enough. Communication throughout the entire process has been excellent, and I couldn't be happier. Final pics will come once it gets here later this week!

Grats! I almost sent my 7621 to Michael. He was pretty communicative, and I almost pulled the trigger, but everything I wanted done just came in too high for me. I can't destroy my vision and not go all out! Maybe next year..

My favorite swirl colors...yum

Wait, you swirled the natural top guitar or the black one?

 

[mcsalty]

looking at the bridge i'd guess (and seriously hope) he meant the black one

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope, the natural finished one turned into this, however the black one is next! I'm finalizing the specs I want for it before I send it out to Livewire.

How much time did it take?

How much time did it take?

Micheal's turn around time is actually very impressive, usually no more than 12 weeks for a complete refinish and setup. He's backed up pretty far now though, and I don't think he's currently accepting new projects. Best bet is to shoot him an email at michael@livewireguitars.com

 

[Hollowway]

Yep, talked to him today. He's backed up 5 months and recommended I talk with Guitar Guru instead.

I already have a guitar with him, but it's been 5 months now. Maybe he has too much on his hands right now.

Hmmm all I can suggest is shoot him an email and see whats going on. He's been great with keeping me updated the entire way through the project.

Already did, but he hasn't answered yet. I just wish to know how much time before it's completed and shipped.

So some of you might have seen the final photos of this posted on the livewire page not too long ago, but for those of you who might have missed it, here's the finished product:
