I'm looking to refinish one of my Ibanez RG's bodies (from an Ibanez Prestige RG2550). I wanted to do something like this:
and I want to know how about doing this in general. I know how to paint the bodies and such. But I've never done anything with stains or maple topping. Would I even be able to do binding like this on an RG body without too much trouble? Or should i just get a thin veneer and then sunburst around the edge to match the body colour?
Thanks!
So I think my plan is:
Sand the body (obviously), etc.
Tape off the edge area on the body for a faux binding.
then apply the veneer, stain etc.
I have to do this in spring obviously, though. It's too cold (I live in Canada) and I can't do it in the house.
