Yep, I like blue....

[kevlar3000]

So I had to sell my blue guitar to help fund a busted boat. I decided to take this guitar and do THIS.... Keeps me off the streets.... The guitar is a 1990 Squier II Strat I picked up for 40.00! I put a 62 RI trem in it and changed a tone cap. The rest is stock, the guitar sounds GREAT! The pic of the black squier is not mine. I forgot to do a before and after, but the guitar is identical. Not bad for a boring weekend, quite pleased!! I still need to age the hardware, but that will be for another day..

If it happened in the Kevlab, it happened awesome.

Hunter, where are you for this?

My local auto parts store happened to have a near perfect shade of Daphne, for 5.00! Spent most of today sanding and then compound polishing to get it smooth. Then I drug it over some patio stones and hit it with a rock...

Don't do this. You only make me want you.

If you're already painting that one blue, what happened to the 50th aniv. strat you had up in the trading post? Gone now?

Re: Yep, I like blue....

i like it! especially the black line that goes all the way around the top. almost like a binding. really cool look! daphne and maple definitely work well together

 

[kevlar3000]

Re: Yep, I like blue....

Jay, that black line was kind of an accident, but it ended up looking like pin-striping, which I thought was pretty cool... I wish I had the skills to do a relic stripe job, it would be really fun...

I agree - pretty much everything that goes down in your basement / lair is awesome.

I love this guitar - it looks less like a relic and more like art to me. And I dig it.
