Re: Journeyman, new look
Was that guitar originally painted or was there some natural finish on it? I've toyed with the idea of just stripping and tung oiling my Model 7, but I have no idea what the wood looks like under all the paint.Comment

Re: Journeyman, new look
This model was natural but there was a TON of clear coat on it. I used a heat gun and knifed the finish of, tough job.Charvel 7308 (TMZ 008), Charvel Pro-mod (yellow), Jackson Soloist Custom (Yellow), Jackson SL2H-V Natural, Gibson LPS DB, Gibson LPS EB, Gibson LPCC C, Charvel Model 2 (scalloped), Jackson DK2M (white), Charvel Journeyman, Fender Classic Player 60's strat, Carvin C66, Musikraft strat mutt, Warmoth Strat mutt, Fender MIM Jazz bass, Epiphone Classical, Takamine parlor.

Re: Journeyman, new look
Nice.
Unfortunately, i can't seem to get into these models. I've seen a few of them in music stores and pawn shops. I've even played a couple. But the thing that disappoints me is a 24-fret, bolt-on neck with a dinky body. To me, that's basically another Jackson. Maybe I've got too many of the model series Charvels to be objective.Occupy JCFComment

Re: Journeyman, new look
I agree, I bought it because it was an inexpensive risk and had good components. I don't like the 24 fret neck either but the long scale allows me to tune to C easily. My model 2 gets a lot more play!

Re: Journeyman, new look
Remember this one? I keep it 440 for teaching, has the tweed case! Hey, quick question. I am looking for a model 3a but from 86' because I like the pick guard. Think I'll find one? [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

Re: Journeyman, new look
Is it hard to sand all the paint off of a guitar I've never tried it bout often thought of doing it?Comment

Re: Journeyman, new look
Its pretty tough, I like the heat gun but practice on something first. Too hot and you burn the wood and have to sand it out. The heat gun will make the paint bubble off the wood, follow with a puddy knife scapping the paint off. Once you get the hang of it its not too bad. Then start the fine sanding into tung oiling. I do 3-4 coats, each buffed after 5-20 minutes after appliction.Charvel 7308 (TMZ 008), Charvel Pro-mod (yellow), Jackson Soloist Custom (Yellow), Jackson SL2H-V Natural, Gibson LPS DB, Gibson LPS EB, Gibson LPCC C, Charvel Model 2 (scalloped), Jackson DK2M (white), Charvel Journeyman, Fender Classic Player 60's strat, Carvin C66, Musikraft strat mutt, Warmoth Strat mutt, Fender MIM Jazz bass, Epiphone Classical, Takamine parlor.
