We demand pics! :agreed:

will do of course :agreed:

Should not take too long since I don't have to grind thru suck azz gloss finish [if there is a "I Hate GLOSS Brotherhood" :scream:...]

I can tell already that there any many of the LB that have much better grain on their Loomis than I do :bowdown:
None the less, sanding starts tonight.

Feb 9 - sanding away ha. There is a lot more clear matte satin on there than you may think, also same with the Vampire Blood, er stain ha. Can see one very small "filled" imperfection in the body. It was where it looked like black grain before sanding. Started on the back side. When I refinish it will have a LOT less stain and satin. Will it sound better, probably not the way I play lol... Not using any chemical remover or power tools so slow going so far. Don't want to make any grove etc that needs fixed later. also the control cover routes are really thin so don't want to f' them up either. Will post some pix in a different thread when more to show...

Feb 19th - omg there is a ton of really tough dark gray primer on these haha. Back fully sanded, not much grain on mine. Working a lot of OT so slow progress. Hope to complete sanding by this Friday. Will post pics then...

Thanks man. Actually I'm going to swap them out for Dimarzios. As for clips do you mean audio? Because I do have audio clips.

I would love to hear them, as I just got my Loomis today. These 707's are cookin', but I'm thinking with the right stuff you might be able to change my mind!

And I bought mine about a month later because of your review (and the fact that you were playing through a VK).

Kuze512, would you mind measuring those pickup rings for me? I have a warpig almost here and im just estimating on what size to make them right now...

Working too much, sanding going really slow. That primer is like steel ha. Plus not using any chemical removers or power sanders does not speed thing up.

I DO know what I am going to do the refinish in now though. Rate I'm going I will post it in about two months haha... It should look good I hope.

Has anyone replaced the tuners on their Loomis? The ones that come with the guitar are excellent, but I have one of the first run models - black hardware. I don't kow why Schecter sold it with a black FR trem, a chrome black knob and a set of chrome black tuners. I'm thinking of taking off the tuners and selling them, and putting on matching tuners and knobs. Only problem is most sellers only sell 6 tuners. Where can I buy just one?
