Model 4 restoration

[LexLuthier]

I found this Charvel Model 4 with a funky BBQ black Krylon refin and f'ed up electronics.


Some stripping, wet sanding and buffing uncovered this nice original finish.
Not sure why someone sprayed over it???
Used some parts from a mangled/trashed donor Model 4 to get the electronics back in shape.

Agreed, nice work! I don't know if I would have the patience to go through all that.

Thanks guys, it wasn't that hard to do actually. Did most of the work on Sunday. BTW, I oiled the board yesterday.

Great job. That red looks fantastic.

It's actually metallic burgundy, but in the picture it looks red for some reason.
