Members Chordite Posted May 24, 2014 Members Share Posted May 24, 2014 I found a couple of pics of my Encore noodler on the day I rescued it and after a fast and dirty restoration and rewire. The pick guard had to be trimmed back from the horn because some chemical solvent had attacked and curled it Though I quite like it cut away, it feels a bit 1950s It is now my favorite guitar which was definitely an unexpectedly good outcome Before After Why does anyone over the age of 7 do this to a guitar ? Anyone else done a similar salvage operation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wankdeplank Posted May 25, 2014 Members Share Posted May 25, 2014 Kudos to you and your hard work amigo. Looks rather elegant now (love Strats, can you tell?). First I've heard of Encore guitars, got me curious now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The range just had a makeover at the hands of Trevor Wilkinson no less. Here he explains how he designed the Encore strat copy to a budget while maintaining the best quality at the price.

Members Chordite Posted May 25, 2014 Author Members Share Posted May 25, 2014 Looks really good. Is that pearl white ? Thanks, Yes it is, I didn't think you could see that in the pic. I forgot to fill the two redundant screw holes so I will have to do that and dot them in to smooth the final look. Like so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members WRGKMC Posted May 26, 2014 Members Share Posted May 26, 2014 You did a nice job restoring that one. I have a SSH Kramer that's in just as rough shape I need to restore. Its got some major finish damage unfortunately so the finish is going to have to come off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
