avengers63 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 ive never refinished a guitar ... or learned punctuation and capitalization. If you're going to be in this hobby, you'll learn how to do it sooner or later. Now is as good a time as any. Better to figure it out on a cheap POS than on a "real" one.

How experienced are you at refinishing guitars? lol haha i should of, and ive never refinished a guitar I'm going to ignore the fact that your posts make my eyes bleed, and make a suggestion. Go find some cheap hardwood, make up a reasonably sized chunk, say 6" by 6". Then finish that. Take it through all the stages, sanding, grain filling, painting, clearcoating and buffing, until you can get a really awesomely well painted chunk of wood. Then do the same thing on a guitar body. Whether you use your RG or another body. If you can't make that chunk of wood look good, you won't be able to do a guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setch Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 You should start by giving your thread a sensible name Indeed. Please try to make your post titles clear and concise, and describe what the thread is about, it makes life easier for other users, and increases your chance of getting a helpful reply. I have changed the name to something more appropriate, next time I'll probably just delete it. Thank you -Setch (forum moderator) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
