This was done last week. It's an unwanted S421 with a semi-mouldy fretboard & a terrible dust accumulation in the pickups cavity. Being an S-Series fan, I obliged to take this on board & gave it a new lease of life. This included, among other things, refinishing the body into that copper tint you see there which was a semi-botched job. Only the top was re-finished, the rest of the original colour remained in tact. Semi-botched because:
- Two different spray & lacquer brands were used which were incompatible. Initially, when the lacquer overcoat was done, it looked fantastic but upon drying, it actually dissolved the colour underneath. I tried this thrice before realizing it's not gonna work & left the final iteration be.
- Due to several layers of coating, the paint & lacquer actually seeped through the tape that protected the sides & the rest of the body so upon removal, there wasn't a clear separation, the colour bled through. Good thing though, this is only visible upon closer inspection
To be continued...
