Nalo1022 Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 a while ago i go a Jackson RRV that was dinged to hell for a project and finally im thinking abotu getting around tro painting it with xmas break on its way, but i dont know what i should do. Ive got it narrowed down between an EVH style paint job or putting on a veneer,then staing and doing a burst. Either of those would be a welcome upgrade from the dinged blue finnish thats there right now. on a side note if i was ere to do an EVH stle job on it id fill the neck pickup hole since its been empty since i got it, butif i did a veneer id prolly get another pickup for it.

feylya Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 I'd prefer the veneer and burst but a EVH RRV could be interesting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasabi J Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 How's about a veneer and a fade y'know... where one end of the guitar is the color then fade to black? I think that'd look pretty sweet on a V... black wingtips. Just me rambling again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maiden69 Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 I have to go with the EVH style. I love them and it will be kinda hard to get a good veneer that will fit the V. Is the same problem as the explorer, just a lot easier but a bit tricky. But is up to you. What ever you decide good luck with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalo1022 Posted December 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 well i was leaning towards the EVH and it loks like that is the msot popular....it'll also be alot cheaper adn easier then a burst. Now the fun task of sanding the finnish off......wich will takee forever the jacksons have a Thick finnish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like gunk off or ZIP STRIP. i can strip a hole guitar in about 3 hours, effortlessly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum5545 Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 My vote would be for the veneer, but only if you added some 7 layer binding to it. Otherwise, the EVH might look a little...different... on a V, but I'd love to see what it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalo1022 Posted December 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 (edited) well i forgot was a "reading day" before finals so i have no classes , and i decided with the free time i would start the long annoying task of stripping my V, well i was in for a great suprise. i was taking all the hardware of the body and while doing so i chipped off a little of the paint well i kept picking and the top color color peels right off from the sealer coat so with a swiss army knife (a paint scrapers blade is too thick) i am able to peel it right off i startewd 5 seconds ago and this is wat it looks like, so this job looks like it will be very very easy....doesnt say much for jackson though. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/nal.../refinnish2.jpg lmao wow i should pay more attention to my typing Edited December 15, 2004 by Nalo1022 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
