I am starting a new built based on Epiphone's Gothic Series.
I am painting a Squier Strat and Jackson Flying V.
These wil be the first gothic version of a strat and jackson
flying v ever made.
Jackson flying V:
I will be painting both guitars fully matte black (excluding fretboard).
The hardware, bridge, jack, humbuckers, tuning keys, whammy bar,
strap buttons, pickguard, plates and pick up switch will be painted matte
black and the tuning knobs will be replaced with gibson ones.
The letters XII will mark the 12th fret, but im not sure how to put it
on or where to get it. On the headstock of the both will have the epiphone
gothic logo.
Both guitar will hopefully eventuall recieve new humbuckers and strings.
The Flying V will be shipped to me sometime before the 28th. I dont
want to start on the stratocaster quite yet because ill have nothing to use.
I am a newbie when it comes to painting anything and from my understanding
what you have to do is:
- use coats paint thinner to remove the paint
- cover neck attachment part
- soak in acetone
- primer it
- paint 11 coats
- polish
correct me if im wrong.
