Parker_Fly Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Hey guys, finished my first whole refinish the other day... I basically scrapped everything on my squire strat and am upgrading everything... I painted it black with a sparley sort of finish.. I think it looks really good for my first, and I'm only 16 so I think it came out as good as it could of.... Go to my site down under this and go to "project strat" on my page... Tell me what you think! Mike Parkerfly.250free.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvertonessuckbutigotone Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Very nice, what kind of lacquer did you use? Have you set it back up and played it? How do you like the new parts, I know I loved it when I put EMG's and in my SG and played it, it was like a feeling of accomplishment.

Parker_Fly Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Sweet , im gonna snag some then. ← Carefull when you do it that you dont hang it vertically to spray on the paint... it runs... i screwed on a peice of wood as a dummy neck and clamped that into my workbench so it was parallel to the flore and i got no runs... too me about 3 trys to get it... hope it works well for you!

Parker_Fly Posted February 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Is there any way to make that smaller without having to edit the actual picture and upload it again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
