ToneMonkey Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Alright guys, I'm after opinions because to be frank, I haven't a clue. I recently got a really cheep SG to which I've taken the finish off the neck so that I can reprofile it nicely and reshape the headstock. I've got to take the finsh of the body soon and have a play with the neck joint. However, I only have gold hardware to go on it so I'm after opinions on what to do with it. At the minute, it's going to be Burberry because everyone has been very firm that I can't do it. In fact the girlfriend has tried to ban me from doing it, so all the more reson to go for it I feel. As it's fairly well curved at the edges, if I vaneer it, then it'll have to be a burst of some description. Any ideas or do I have to chav it up?

ToneMonkey Posted December 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 I forgot to say that if I end up doing it in Burberry, the scratchplate (and maybe contriol cavity cover) will be made from perspex with a flattened Stella can underneath. Tasteful, oh yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToneMonkey Posted December 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Ha ha, yeah man. Now you're getting into the spirit of things You should have seen your face when I first said it was going to be Burberry, it was kind of like ----> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biliousfrog Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 I imagine that you've seen that face quite a bit when mentioning this I think that it would work well actually, the SG has that chavvy, Stella swilling, ne'er-do-well look about it. How do you expect to do the finish?...cover in material, transfer paper, paint freehand....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToneMonkey Posted December 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Yeah, I'm doing a material finsh. A good bit of fake Burberry material can't be too hard to find. I'm then going to do the back the same and burst the sides in using a matching colour to the background of the check. Going to do the headstock too.
