  • Soloist Refin

    A few months ago it noticed that one of the trem posts had sunk on my reverse soloist. I was able to pull the trem bushing using the helpful sticky post on the Tech QA section, but I had a chip of paint come off in the process. So I had a soloist that now was unplayable and needed a repair that I'm not set up or comfortable to do. I wan't super stoked about the graphic when I purchased it but it's a CUSTOM Jackson Reverse Soloist; I had to buy it! I always said I could get it redone in the future and now I had a great reason to do it.

    So I did the only logical thing one could do in this situation and contact Mike Learn. Yeah buddy! So he fixed my trem bushing issue and is gonna do another graphic for me. I'm really excited as I've never sent a guitar out for a custom paint job, Mike Learn is doing the paint and it's my other USA Soloist that's gonna look soooo bad ass when he's done. So here's a little something to look at in the meantime while Mike dose his thing.

    Ready for paint









    That's all for now

          So you had a paint chip by the trem post so it's unplayable?

          Sounds like an excuse you gave to the SO.

            Great choice on the Refin. I've always thought that graphic was awful. Look forward to seeing the progress pics.

                  Hopefully the new graphic won't be a blue girl with no nipples laying on her back with little T-Rex arms and red dagger fingernails.

                        Not sure why but I've always liked snakeskin paint jobs on guitars.
                        I want to go out nice and peaceful in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming and hollering like the passengers in his car.
