Members guitarheo3 Posted March 20, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 20, 2009 Just an update, It's on the final stages of the pink. Just some parts I need to fix before the clear.

Members Crisco Posted March 22, 2009 Members Share Posted March 22, 2009 There is an LP Special II in wine red (transparent..shows the wood) brand new up the road from me for $179.99 Is it actually a good one to buy? It did play well but I've never really taken them seriously at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did play well but I've never really taken them seriously at all. They are pretty nice. After a pickup change and action adjustment I gained lots of respect for mine. I say go for it. And they make good project guitars also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarheo3 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 23, 2009 Clear has started and its startin to look good. Stupid Question: There are scratches in the clear from the wet-sanding, do i buff those out now or later after the final coat-a-clear is on? thanx:wave: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members katillac Posted March 24, 2009 Members Share Posted March 24, 2009 As long as you have more coats of clear to put on, don't worry about the scratches, but you may want to decrease (increase in number) the grit of sandpaper you're using. What grit was used last? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
