Members hangwire Posted February 27, 2011 Members Share Posted February 27, 2011 or which one should I refinish? I was planning on the Danelectro clone for a while, but I got this SG JR super cheap and I don't know if stripping it down is worth it from some comments I heard about the body probably not looking great if paint was removed anyway... opinions?

Members Naterel Posted February 27, 2011 Members Share Posted February 27, 2011 The SG in copper would look sick the other one would look good too, but the SG does it for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hiwatt Bob Posted February 27, 2011 Members Share Posted February 27, 2011 i'd go more with a conventional goldtop on the SG. copper would look better on the Dano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Reaganomics! Posted February 27, 2011 Members Share Posted February 27, 2011 Dano, because that is an ugly looking burst. Also because pretty soon a million people are going to chime in and say that you should paint the SG Pelham blue anyways. Then get a tele. The internet wants everyone to have teles and pelham blue sgs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hangwire Posted February 27, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 27, 2011 I really liked the Epi SG that was around last year in the worn brown ... so I wanted to do that but the body from what people say is probably multi-pieced and poorly grained so the stain would look striped... then I thought about just painting it a nice choco-brown... which lead me to just using the copper...

Members Snufkino Posted February 27, 2011 Members Share Posted February 27, 2011 The SG is alot less busy than the Dano so I'd go for that. The Dano will look all steam punky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AidyCM Posted February 27, 2011 Members Share Posted February 27, 2011 Copper is a conductor and it makes for decent cooking so I'd say go Dano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Dano, because that is an ugly looking burst. Also because pretty soon a million people are going to chime in and say that you should paint the SG Pelham blue anyways. Then get a tele. The internet wants everyone to have teles and pelham blue sgs. I'd paint the SG. Stripping it down to a natural finish is probably not a good idea; I've heard rumours that they're made out of mystery plywood. The Dano clone would look good in copper, but it's already cheesy enough in a Dano sort of way, and of the two, the SG looks like its finish could use the most help. But instead of copper, have you ever considered Kerry Green and a white pickup cover? PS Kerry Green > Pelham Blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably-- I was just going to melt $7 in pennies and pour it over the body and hope it takes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Is Kerry green gibson's name for seafoam? Or is it that muted limeish color? It's closer to Surf Green - as far as I know, Gibson never had an exact match for Seafoam. I did see a turquoise Casino once that looked incredible, but again, it's not the same as Seafoam. That "muted lime-ish color" is probably either Inverness Green or possibly Kerry Green with a heavily yellowed clear coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
