before used to be sunburst, strat style ...
you know .... very "normal/conventional"

this little bit took me 2 days to sand off ~
wanted to get the round/curved parts off 1st ...
coz , they;re the hardest and have the thickest varnish ~

 

[nebo1981]

This one is after all the sanding and repainting... and before adding the cracks ....~

changed to pickguard to a reflective mirror and used silver knobs

 

[nebo1981]

The cracks were drawn in by hand ... no $ to buy airbrush...

too many silver lines,frankly speaking,i cant stare the pic for too long,it gives my eyes burning sensation,i prefer the sunburst colour,peace

 

[nebo1981]

yah ... i get the same feeling ...
now that i look back,
seems like ... nicer before adding the lines ..
but wanted it to be one of a kinda so ... ~
and very into rock at that time ... ..~

now .. i prefer blues, funk and country ...~
looks damn weird playing this kinda genre with a guitar dat looks like that ~
hahahaha

yo nebo1981, wat did u use to strip the paint? chemicals or sand with machine
or sand by hand?
would be interested in the pics

Hi...

There's an easier way to strip off the paint.
Use something called "paint remover", easily be found in any hardware shop. About $5 - $6 a bottle. Very easy, within 2 hours you can strip the whole paint of a guitar. All the lacquer, paint will go off easily. Sanding is only required just to clean up the remaining paint (which is minimal) and smoothen the surface

Be careful when you open the bottle for the first time, it might burst! (it's like a bottle of coke when you shake it hard before open it).

For this stripping paint thing...

Why don't all of you go to www.projectguitar.com and view the various process? There are pros and cons to each process so be sure before you guys decide on which method.
