O.K. It's not the original Body (long story!) It's a 10 year old Stewmac
Swamp Ash body. Luckly I held onto it !

Here's a link to my other projects and more Pics of the 73' MY PROJECTS
BTW, this link is a little screwy ? Keep clicking you'll get there. Sorry :smack:

I can see it now....very nice. Love the color. Did you do the work yourself? Nitro or Poly?

YUP ! I did it myself. It's Nitro. The inside color is Reranch Honey Amber.
The Cherry is a color I mixed myself from stewmac dye. It's a little
darker than your Average CherrySunburst, But I had to Opaque the
upper horn to hide Damage. ( Dog used it for a chew toy !) I got somemore
pics on my website.

THANKS GUY'S

daaaammmmmnnnn, bring that to the allman's show!

I doubt that's a good Idea. :laugh2: But I will bring it to the next
Hampton's Gig. I'll PM when I find out when it is.

Nice project. You can see your progress. What's next?

Next, I'd like to do a Candy Apple Red finish. And get some more equipment
like a HVLP gun. The main problem now is I have no room to work. I have to
paint outside. I'm planning on buying a house next year. So I'll set up a
work shop.

Re: Just Re- finished my 73' Strat Cherry Sunburst

Hmmmm.....maybe I will send you a guitar to refin there KMC. Really nice work. Just wish I could see it better. Crappy ass moniter.

Re: Just Re- finished my 73' Strat Cherry Sunburst

how much would you charge for a refinish? j/k... or am I?

Anyway, I like that Sonata or whatever it is, but, that Nato had a beautiful grain in it... don't you feel guilty for covering it?

Re: Just Re- finished my 73' Strat Cherry Sunburst

Nice job bro. I have yet to do a burst...nice tones and I like the vintage vibe of that dyed edge.

Ha Ha. The back is Nato wood. It's dyed in dark red mahogany(And yes,
You can see the grain) The Top is NOT real wood. It's a photo lamanate.
No guilt makeing it a Goldtop

Nice job bro. I have yet to do a burst...nice tones and I like the vintage vibe of that dyed edge.

Thanks, Butnut Your advise on the reranch board and here has helped
me BIG TIME !!!!

Thanks to all I got word today. My Buddy wants me to finish his
vintage Gibson EB0 Bass ! I'll post pics start to finish when I'm done.
