Ok guys and gals. Here is a finished (maybe) body video I just got done with.
I went from 2000-800-1000-2000 grit wetsanding, then rubbing compound, then meguiars ultimate polish. Video don't do it justice I don't think. Shines like a mirror. Enjoy.

Re: Project update...

I dont remember that!! Sweet!! That an ESP or an Edwards?? Akira Takasaki (from Loudness) Random Star model!! LOVE those! Except the nubby headstock.... If its an Edwards, prolly ran about $1100. ESP, close to 2K plus

Yours is his older sig model, which he played in the 80s. and I like it better than most of the new ones.. (cept the black one)

Not sure which one it was. All that was on the headstock was ZEP Custom. EVH still makes the one similar to it also. Saw it in a magazine the other day. For some reason I can't upload any pictures. Any idea why?

Looking at the Killer guitars, they run about $280-$240 USD from what I'm converting. Could be wrong though.

That's just a couple lights inside the house. I haven't taken it outside to see what it looks like in natural sunlight yet. Mincer, any idea why I can't post pictures from my iPhone, or tablet?

Thanks for posting these Trey. I really hope that issue can get resolved. And I may put a dummy switch to fill in that hole or something.

Thank you. Took a while but it was worth it.

Re: Project update...

Yeah man, that is tasty!! For some reason, the headstock doesnt look so bad on that one cuz of the nice clean way you have it set up!

Thanks Rose. Glad I have it finished now. It took me awhile to get it done due to all the humidity down here in Mississippi and my work schedule and sons baseball and I could go on and on. But it's done now. Thanks.

You're off quite a bit, they are around $1320, xe.com is your friend. *EDIT* Oops, that is the older ESP, the Killer in the link is $5355.

FWIW, the new red ESP version of that one is over $3800.
