What I want to know is why someone would have butchered a fine instrument like that in the first place. I can understand experimenting on a Hondo or something, but a SD Jackson????
Great job on a killer guitar. It almost looked as if the body had binding.
It gives that appearance but it was originally a metallic snow white, then topcoated with a charcoal or black color, then top coated again with a very crappy white paint...just sad. I came REAL close to putting binding on the top (I love body binding on a tele) but then kept my head straight and restored it to how it was originally... lol!
awesome job, what a project.
who exactly did the paint ? i'm looking around for someone to paint a body or two for me, would like to know who has had good experiences with who.
There is at least one USA Charvel neck thru, but the J serial would make this one a Jackson...
Yep, that was a strat shaped body with a neckthrough strathead, correct? I believe Lynn Ellsworth is in a newspaper clipping holding the blank which is floating around somewhere here..lol! (Not the blank, the article lol!)
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.
