i personally don't think it came out too good. but, that could be due to the dark, blurry pics though

.

soldierkahn, any more recent pics of this guitar?

yeah i do apologize for the quality of the pics. Thats what i get for buyin a cheap cam. but no worries guys. Im currently doin a bunch of mods to that 7620 for a friend. So as soon as its finished guys, ill be using my dads work cam which has a lot better quality photos.

One suggestion tho that i learned along the way. i now use bondo as filler instead of wood filler. The wood filler is really fragile, whereas the bondo is harder than wood when it dries, and it doesnt shrink. So yeah, if youre lookin at gettin SC's sig taken out, i would suggest takin it to a luthier, as he would have better filler for it, not to mention its gonna be a bitch to get that inlay outta there, so be prepared to pay decent dough if he decides to do it....

edit: Thanks Droz for the recognition tho....

Yup. I definitely wouldn't attempt that on my own. Thanks for the info and advice!

thats what the boards for...

Yeah a luthier doing this would use rosewood dust mixed with filler which will blend much better and should also take the dye better to conceal where the work was done when the fretboard gets dyed

Hmmm interesting. Sounds like a plan. White paint job on body and headstock, black binding on body (because the headstock already has it) and dyed fretboard with professional inlay removal.

I think its gonna look killer.

soldierkahn · 03-05-2008, 01:07 PM

its definitely not gonna look like a SRC anymore, lol. Cept for that damned pup layout (FTL IMO)

Blood Tempest · 03-05-2008, 01:11 PM

LOL. True. I'm not that big of a Deftones fan anyways

It's just gonna look like one bad ass Horizon 7. Everyone seems to dislike that pup layout...I don't get it. I likey.

If only it was reasonable to get a fretboard replaced...

Blood Tempest · 03-05-2008, 01:55 PM

Very true. Oh well. Dye will be just fine.
