Faux gold


I'm actually upset with this finish but in a pleasant way 😅 This is actually an Ibanez S421, I re-finished the top. I bought a can of spray paint which said copper on the label. It looked copper-ish when applied. After some time, it turned into this gold-top type colour. Can you see those areas which sport darker hues from the rest? This was a result of uneven sanding. Of course, I'm not particular with how it turned out. It was meant to be a DIY project & the guitar remains functional. 


This corrosion resistant set will not outperform Elixirs but I'm OK with the lifespan on offer.
