litchfield Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 I tru oiled the neck, and beins how I'm cheap, the pickups and knobs are the old chrome ones with a trans gold spray paint over them (duplicolor). I dont expect this to last forever, just till I can afford new ones. The tuners are still chrome, but I will have gold ones in 2 weeks when I change out a friends gold grovers for gold locking grovers. He also decided to have me tru oil his neck. His is a newer schecter. Here's the pics Before: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maiden69 Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Great Litch, looks just like I did my neck on the LP. I haven't added any hard oil, just lemon oil once a week. Is the Floyd painted too? Looks almost like the real thing... Can you give a rating on your schecter, I'm looking to get one guitar but stilkl undecided between that, LTD or Jackson.

Jivin Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Overall I think it looks great! However, the pickups look more yellow than gold in the pics, and it sorta looks cheesy good work overall though, nice guitar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you give a rating on your schecter, I'm looking to get one guitar but stilkl undecided between that, LTD or Jackson. Yeah its a gold OFR, real deal. I'd say that the schecter is well built for the money. I thought the knives in the trem wore out, but actually, the posts wore out. I have had a couple piddly problems in the 2 years I've had it However, the pickups look more yellow than gold in the pics, and it sorta looks cheesy Yeah, they do look kinda yellow, but its only temporary. I want to know if you keep your website still updated because it hasnt changed at all since i have first seen it like 3 weeks ago. What site? You took an already great looking guitar and make it even better. I bet she plays really sweet now as well! You bet it does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Litch, can you post a close up of the neck joint, this is one of my concerns for buying one, and the one on the C-1 Zero heel is the only one I've seen. Is yours like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litchfield Posted August 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 no, mine is the old style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Is there any difference in the feel of the neck between bare and tru-oil? I like the feel of the bare one in the LP, so I'm afraid that it will feel like painted again once I put tru ot tung oil on it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axo151 Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 what did you shave the neck with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litchfield Posted August 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 The tru oil is not as slick as a bare neck, but waxed well and sanded to 1500 is dang nice. Also more proctive, neccesary for maple. The LCG site is gone with the wind as far as I am concerned. I post my work here now. I used 50 grit sandpaper, MEK, Acetone, and varios grits up to 1500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Dang, 50 grit, I used 180 to do mine, I was scared to death to use the 60 grit that I use to shape the wood, I sometimes find hard to get the scratch lines out of the maple. But you can't argue with the finished product, looks nice... I will consider doing mine with oil, I don't play out so I don't sweat or get the guitar wet, so I guess that it will stay bare for a while...

litchfield Posted August 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 I just used the 50 to rough the finish so I could strip the nitro off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
