Rhino Liner'd MF-207 (56k=Chipped Paint)

Regor · 03-15-2007, 11:12 PM

Continued from here

So I had pictures somewhere of the guitar getting stripped of it's paint... but I can't find them now. No worries, I'll update it later if I find them.

So yeah, my ESP LTD MF-207 was stripped down to bare nothing, and for $50 I found a shop that Rhino Liner'd my guitar's body. And I must say it's the BADDEST looking MF'er I've ever seen!!! And the fretboard is dyed as well.

Here's what it looked like straight from the shop:

And here's after I put everything back together.

Close up on the texture:

Backside (When I got this guitar from Shannon, it didn't have the backplate, so my brother made one from diamondplate. He wants to make the electronics cavity plate to match now)

And a couple full body shots, one without a flash, one with:

I still need to adjust the pickup height on it, and the frets could use a re-crowning. But that'll be later. I'm just happy it came out great!! (.... me, I just noticed some are blurry... sorry about that).

I haven't plugged it into my amp yet, but I doubt it'll change the sound any. Also, it didn't add that much weight to the body, as it's a real thin coat. The cavities were covered in masking tape, and we measured it and it's prolly 1/16" thick.

That is sick! I love it!!

Metal Ken · 03-15-2007, 11:21 PM

thats the coolest looking guitar you own.

technomancer · 03-15-2007, 11:22 PM

Yeah that really works on that body style, it looks like some freaky insect carapace

So, does it bounce with the coating on

That's cool. At least you like one of them

skinhead · 03-15-2007, 11:32 PM

Regor, that's cool! I love that decapant style paint, and that diamond plate there it's gorgeous.

Regor · 03-15-2007, 11:34 PM

skinhead, it's not paint at all. It's a 'spray on truck bed liner' called Rhino Liner. The best way to describe it is a vulcanized rubber coating. It's durable as ALL HELL!

A randy-style V would be the only style V i'd ever consider getting. I dont like the Gibson style at all, and i'd rather a RR than a KV.

darren · 03-15-2007, 11:37 PM

I really don't like the F-series body, but with that finish and the Jolly Roger inlays, that looks BAD ASS!

very apt comparison. I'm not sure if I would own a guitar like that myself, but I would totally give somebody props for sporting it. It looks wicked.. you should put a red hourglass (black widow spider) beneath the bridge!

Carrion · 03-15-2007, 11:39 PM

You should swirl it now.

Regor · 03-15-2007, 11:48 PM

My brother thinks I should rub red paint all over it, then rub off the paint with a rag, so the color stays in the lower valleys of it, to make it look like lava or something... but I don't think the 'valleys' are deep enough for it to look any good.

Metal Ken · 03-15-2007, 11:50 PM

would look cool on it.

Nice

i like the final product. But you can see the same effect when you use some decapant on a guitar.

Regor · 03-16-2007, 12:05 AM

Oh, ok. I've never heard of a decapant... don't know what it is.

So I'm playing on it, and the body isn't 'tacky' anymore like when I first picked it up (wasn't sticky or anything, but felt a little tacky). Now it's smooth and just plain awesome! I can't wait to rock it out on stage!

Heavy Ed · 03-16-2007, 12:09 AM

You have to keep us posted on how it holds up to abuse! It should be able to take a beating, no more dings and finish cracks!

7slinger · 03-16-2007, 12:44 AM

i think it looks badass
