i was thinking along the same lines as the "knockdown" myself but materials were my problem - what to use? anyone else have any opinions on whether the laquer idea would work? would i also be able to spray paint it easily and then would it still need a clear? this might be getting a little too involved but i just really dig the Jem90th finish and figure it would be a great finish for stage and i wouldn't be concerned with sweat and fingerprints too much. thanks for all responses guys and any other info anyone could add. i have a couple DIY alternatives but a textured finish is what has kinda lit my fire for this particular project lately.

hello everyone - 1st post. i am from jemsite.com and i'm known there as screamndemon69 for those who frequent that site. i have a few customized RG's with holoflash, fabric tops, monkey grips, changed pickup routes, changed volume/tone holes and plan to get my latest project finished as soon as i can get more info on my choice of finish. my question is textured finished and most importantly is it possible to DIY? i really like the finish on the Jem90 (i've seen this finish also on the podiums on Jeopardy for the contestants) and i have a custom modified RG560 i am wanting to re-finish and was hoping it is possible to do something similar to the Jem90th (or RG Metal)? the body has already been modified (monkey grip, filled mid-single, filled tone hole, angled jack routed), stripped to the wood, sealed and is ready for primer and finishing. i have everything else i need to get this guitar up and playing (neck, electronics, pickups and hardware) and just wanted to see if the textured finish is possible before i decide on something else to do for this project. thanks in advance for any input.
