Refinish a PC1?

[maltomario]

Curious if any of you ever had a pc1 refinished ( in a transparent color, not solid)? Had asked a few painting guys and they all declined to quote due to the top being less than 1/4" thick. Thoughts?

Contact Lee at GMW Guitarworks and see what he has to say. He's been turning out some great refin work lately (including my Charvel model 1 and a number of other Jacksons and Charvels). He'll let you know what your options are with that top and what he can do with it.

I just sent my Y2KV to Lee.

What finish is on the guitar right now?
That will determine if you can safely refinish the top in a new trans finish.
It's only 1/8" thick.

Ive seen some pc1s in bad shape pop up on ebay from time to time. was just curious if it could be done . Would be nice to get a custom colored one (like faded blue jean ). Just wondered if it's a feasible thing

A PC1 with an Au Natural top can be refinished any color you want.
Some of the other ones have a shit ton of clear over them and the dye is pretty deep into the grain.
Those would be a bit harder to do a color change on.
