weaponepsilon Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 I wasn't sure exactly were to put this one, in Solidbody Guitars and Basses or this one. Okay, So I've been looking for an Ibanez SR5 neck or compatable for a few years now on the 'bay. I have an Ibanez Sr885 body, but no neck. So miracle of miracles, in the last month or two there has been two of such necks. I didn't get the exact neck the first time, but the second time I happened to come across an SR5 styled neck with the angled heel. The deal was it was being sold with Korn's signatures all over it. Now I like Korn and all, being a Metalhead foremost, but I got it because I really wanted a proper bass neck. Call me insane, but although its signed I still plan to mount it on a body. Now here's the question: Is there a way to spray laquer over the signatures without utterely destroying or erasing the names entirely? Or is this just a pipe dream of a bassist with ambition?

Racer X Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 (edited) You should be able to clearcoat over that, but since it is a newer guitar, I would think it would have a poly finish. Minwax DOES make a clear poly, in a spray can. Maybe that's the way to go. Personally, I'd get rid of the signature, if it was me. If that's not why you bought it, use it for your intentions. I'm personally not a big fan of them, anyway, but to each his own, right? Edited February 6, 2006 by Racer X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanatic1 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Take a picture and make a decal and then you can paint with poli, nitro or whatever you want and your signature will be safe. I have a friend and want the same, it has a Kiko Loureiro signature and want to cover woth something, but its an RG320 and for me its not woth, but he is like o men its kiko loureiro signature i need to do this.

Southpa Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Lacquer will very likely react with whatever ink the signature was made with. I would use a more "inert" type of clearcoat like polyurethane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegarehanman Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Along simular lines, you could seal it with CA and laquer over that. I can't guarantee this will work, so you should test it on scrap first. Also, don't use this method if you're planning on staining the neck(which I assumed you would not).

weaponepsilon Posted February 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 The signatures were all done in sharpie. Hmm, I do have some highgloss poly I could try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
