Unholy Meat Obelisk
Am starting a new project refinishing this and giving it a makeover
I previously stripped of all the laquer and finished it, but it's been heavily used so the finish is heavily scratched and dented and some of the finish has flaked off.
I have already disassembled it completely and going to do the following:
- sand down the body
- sand down the neck including headstock
- stain the body and neck with water based trans-black finish and finish with tru-oil
- darken the fretboard to ebony
- smooth and round the heel
- for some nice detail I am going to faux-bind the body and headstock (leaving the natural wood).
- redress the frets or do a complete re-fret job
- replace the cheap tuners with black Schallers or Sperzels.
pictures to follow, Will start sanding the coming week. Wish me luck. oh, and hints and tips always welcome!
