  • Gloss to Matte

    Started looking around for a new guitar, so I figured I'd end that idea as quickly as it began by starting some work on a guitar I already own, bought just over a month ago.

    Anyway, I'd heard/read about the process of modifying the paint job of a guitar from gloss finish to matte and decided to give that a try.

    The results... excuse the flash in some of these.

    The plan now is to hook up a single pickup/volume.

    I am thinking of taking the bridge off as it looks a little odd in the example picture, which leads to the question, what can anybody tell me regarding the efficiency of wraparound bridge/hardtails?

    I like the vibe of the matte look, it reminds me of "rat rod" hot rod paint jobs.
