Wow that is unreal. How'd you refinish that?

Seriously, the best repair/refinish project I've ever seen!
 
Re: Remember that Busted up LP I got for Xmas?

Thanks guy's :D This is the best pic I could get of the figure in the cap. My Camera really stinks. Notice the Pseudo Binding? Before I clear coated. I took a razor blade to the edge of the Maple cap on a 45 degree angle and scraped around the guitar.

That really IS cool, to have the confidence to even take it on.... I take my hat off to you. You made it look fantastic!!!!!! You should give it to me, it would look MUCH better with mine!
 
Re: Remember that Busted up LP I got for Xmas?

Awesome. Better than new. How much did you give for that thing with the broken headstock?
 
Re: Remember that Busted up LP I got for Xmas?

Ken,

Thats great man...looks amazing!

Hang on to that one for sure...you've already put some real mojo into her with the repair and the refin (which looks killer BTW) not to mention the "binding!

Very nice indeed!
 
Re: Remember that Busted up LP I got for Xmas?

NICE CALL AND JOB ON THAT PSEUDO EDGE BINDING!
 
Re: Remember that Busted up LP I got for Xmas?

Holy cow, Ken. That looks incredible. Great job. I like the faux binding too.
 
Re: Remember that Busted up LP I got for Xmas?

Yeah man!

That looks killer!!! I was diggin' on the binding too...wondering if you had taped it...

I remember when you posted pics of the first stain job, I guess you went back and darkened the edges a bit?

What did you use for a clear coat?
 
Re: Remember that Busted up LP I got for Xmas?

KMC, that is some killer work.. I remember the original pics... you worked wonders, congrats!
 
Re: Remember that Busted up LP I got for Xmas?

WOW great to see another smashed LP given life after death.... You did a great job on the refinnish for sure!!! has the looks of an LP Standard..... The maple edge binding looks great...

I've seen some nasty headstock repairs and some good ones!!! I've seen a few in the last few weeks that are held together with metal plates and bolts but it works.... i still prefer the refinnish rebuilt look...
 
Re: Remember that Busted up LP I got for Xmas?

Man such a great job.... I think that most guys would of been happy to get the headstock repaired and touched up..But you took it all the way and produced a keeper..........Good luck with it...
 
Re: Remember that Busted up LP I got for Xmas?

Wow, that's cool.

+1 to how does it sound, did the finish noticibley change any of the dynamics?
 
Re: Remember that Busted up LP I got for Xmas?

Gorgeous work man. Love the color. It looks like a killer OLD les paul with the finish done the way you did it. Great work on the headstock too. She's a looker for sure now.
