can i have a redo
i decided yesterday to refinish one of my guitars. its a little japanese thing i paid like 100$ for. the pickups are sweet and the neck is nice if a bit small. so i got as much of the finish off as i could (with chemicals and sanding) and carved an arm contour, reshaped the peghead, and routed a hole for a toggle switch (a la tom morello.) it's been primed once and will get one more before i have to decide on the main color. i'm thinking black or green, with either a white (with green) or the old metal pickguard. so if i don't show up to stuff i'm probably knee deep in wires and paint.
i'll post after pictures, i ripped into her without taking before.

the toggle switch is the key. taht thing should be killing it in no time.

I think that Jer's interested in coming out there and making guitars with you tonight. (Just him....no wifey will be present). ;-)

yeah jer came out, and we basically just cleaned the place up. so now we're set (again.)
i've decided on satin red with white pinstripes. i'm gonna sand the old pickguard with some steel wool. it should look cool. it'll still look old and japanese. if it works i've got another one to try it on.
