<font color="aqua">Trust me Jimmy, when you see the before pics of my 88, you'll think yours was a "gem". Hopefully I'll have it done sometime soon and yes, I'm "trying" to get it back to look original [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I've already screwed it up twice but the 3rd time is a charm right?

You are a braver man than I, budman. There was no way in hell I was going to attempt a sunburst - never will. In what ways have you screwed it up?

Cool! Now all it needs is an ebonized fretboard!

Re: My freshly painted Model 88 - Go easy on me.

Holy crap, I didn't realize you refinned over that AMAZING transparent finish! I would have definitly kept that.

I think it looks fantastic! I wish I had some artistic skills. If I tried that, I would end up with something like the mutant Ojeda.

Re: My freshly painted Model 88 - Go easy on me.

I'm impressed, I think I like it better with the flames. Good job.

Re: My freshly painted Model 88 - Go easy on me.

GREAT job!!! I like it!!! [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img] Oh, what kinda paint did you use?

Now for some of your other guitars...

I love that GMW!!! That's friggin gorgeous! Is that an SL2 with EMG's or a DK1?

Re: My freshly painted Model 88 - Go easy on me.

That is an SL2H with the EMG's. It is actually my second one in the same color and configuration. I traded the first one to jonsgon and missed the thing so much that I bought another. I'm not sure if the pic is of the original or the replacement. [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]
