  1. The old Japanese Epiphone has a clear pickgaurd that has white paint underneath with the funky Epiphone/Prince symbol Epiphone e in the middle. Just getting one made may be the way to go. Of course I could mess with one I had, if it was "F" up'd I could just buy one anyway. I am only dealing with rattle cans here. Thanks for everyones input.
  2. There are a bunch of old threads here that describes painting of the plastic pickgaurds. It seems to me this is the same process as the guitar body itself? With the possible exception of using a bonding agent. The Lacquer aparently doesn't attack the plastic? I am rebuilding an old Japanese Epiphone Wilshire, this thing has a huge old nasty looking pickgaurd. I'm wondering if it would be easier to get one custom made? Thanks for your help!
  3. I think my error was not aplying the clear heavy enough, trying to avoid freaking runs man! The headstock and neck look pretty good. I will try again, thanks, DCSmith
  4. After the clear coat process, how long can I expect to polish or sand. Started with # 600, 800, 1000, and now at #1500. It looks like there are some areas that are still rough, actually a lot of areas that are not glass like. I have also accomplished a couple of sand thru's. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, DCSmith
