Another change of pace

[lhrocker]

Well I've been deciding between selling and refinishing this guitar for a little bit. I had some bites on sale/trade offers, but I decided to refinish it first, as I could always turn it around later. I just started on the color coat, but black seems to be the way to go...

Before:






During:





Should look better when the clear goes on and the orange peel comes off...

hell yeah. while i can appreciate a trans finish, black les pauls are SO much cooler than all of that quilted, bursty stuff.

Did that top even have a figure to begin with? Looks like a poorly-painted red - are those brush/spray strokes?

The black looks better, even in the During phase

The top has no figure or grain, otherwise I may have done a trans finish. And yes, those are brush strokes. Just goes to show what you find these days.
