Restoration Complete = J1637

My guess is that it was a Jackson all along. I never saw a USA Charvel neck thru.

There is at least one USA Charvel neck thru, but the J serial would make this one a Jackson...

Dave, that is just flat-out awesome. Smokin' job, too. Must've been a helluva effort. Congrats.

I know of at least two. ...And I custom-ordered one of them. :P

Thanks Dave, it was a pleasure to do the refin on this one. I too love bringing these things back to life. You're right about the paint too, that color just can't be photographed! For those interested, I used GM code 10 white chromabase, and added a smidgen of course aluminum mixing base. And of course, several coats of urethane clear.
I will have to say, though, when Dave sent it to me I had never seen the "before" pics. He did a fantabulous job on the new binding and re-fret. It looked better than many factory jobs I've seen.

Awesome job Mark and Dave!

Now that is one hell of a restoration indeed!

Dave, if you don't mind me asking, where did you find it originally?

[Axewielder]

Awesome job! I'll take minty over relic'ed any day.

[VitaminG]

Nice, how the hell did it wear in those places originally, someone attack it with sandpaper? I quite liked it in its distressed state as well.

+1

although the refin looks incredible

[rjohnstone]

That's some damn fine work there Dave and Mark.

[bibz]

I would rock the before pics guitar but the after pics guitar....



most excellent work dude!

[UNSANE]

Awsome Job and a great save of a cool old school Jackson guitar.
Hats off!

[zeegler]

That really came out nice Dave. I'd love to know how it got in such a sorry condition before you rescued it.

[Swede]

Really sweet!

Telly - another ugly shape that Jackson/Charvel have managed to make into a beautiful piece of art

I hope I come across one sometime, somewhere...
