Guitar refinish done right...

[mystixboi1]

I am so excited. About a year ago, I did a relic job on my Strat. I liked it at first but after a couple months, I grew tired of it. A few months ago, I started looking for someone to refinish it and came across someone on Facebook that came highly recommended. He actually specializes in doing swirl paintjobs but I approached him about doing a metallic purple and he loved the idea.

I’ll be honest, the first time he sent me the body back it had quite a bit of imperfections so I sent it back to him and he redid it. I actually started this thread about the whole escapade:

I didn’t know what to expect when I got it back but it arrived yesterday and it turned out great. Here are some pictures…

That really does look fantastic. You somehow ran naked through a massive shitstorm and came out smelling like a rose.

Unexpected, but great news.

Now ditch that absurd gold hardware!

I'm not one for gold (at all), but you can't get more regal than purple and gold.

That looks fantastic. What kind of pup is up at the neck? It looks like a mini-bucker.

I said you needed to get out of that deal as soon as possible. I was proven wrong. That turned out amazing.

Edit: Wait a minute... he cut off your 22nd fret! You still need a refund!

not at all to my taste, but that really does look very nice!

John will just have to buy a 22-fret roasted maple neck & fretboard for it.

And I think the gold hardware goes well with the purple.
