.:AsILayDying:. Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 hey im really new, so ill probably get some weird looks from you guys, but what the hell... i have this beat up ibanez and had a couple ?'s. there's some big chunks in the side and back of the body and i wanted to know what the easiest way to do that is. someone suggested wood filler, but i have no idea what to do after that or anything. another question i have is i want to put figured veneer on the top and stain it black and i have no idea where to get the veneer. so if any of you know where a good place to get veneer in the minnesota reigion, please tell me. and what kind of stain should i use. i have never done anything like this when it comes to refinishing, so if you couldhelp me out thatd be great. thanks a lot!

Maiden69 Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Well, HERE'S a starter thread for yez. I see stairstep over there! How is it? I thought that you had stripped the finish off, ... or was it purple and then blue? I want to see "el diablo blanco" man, whats up? I loved that burl.

Drak Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 El Diablo is chained up in the cellar. I threw the stairstep away (WOD'd). I believe that the PRS black is actually what they call Silver Grey stain. I could be wrong. I have several packets of Lockwoods Silver Grey in both water and alcohol.

.:AsILayDying:. Posted October 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 (edited) i cant seem to load up a pic of my chipped guitar, but it looks like it went through all of the finish, and maybe some of the body itself. I can see wood though, so if that helps with the filling question of mine, tell me what to do. thanks! Edited October 2, 2004 by .:AsILayDying:.

.:AsILayDying:. Posted October 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 ahoy! so i had a woodworking sort of guy tell me that my best bet with the chips is to use plain wood filler. but i really don't know what to do after that, or even before that. Another question i have is how should i take off the current finish? and do i do the filler before that or after? aaand one more, i swear...what do i do after i put the filler on? im really sorry about all the stupid questions, but all ive ever done is play, not repair, so im kinda new. thanks for the input!
