Behold the V-250 refinishing...(56k LOL)

D-EJ915 · 06-01-2007, 11:10 PM

ok so I haven't exactly finished yet, but here are some pics up until where I'm at right now.

When I was taking off the strings (ok the trem but whatever)

Trem out, I took off the pot washers

EMG OUT!

took off the jack thingy

popped off the back cover...and took out the batteries...

nut and tuners off

ok notice anything weird?

yeah that's right, the tuners have imprints of where they were

ok I decided to steel wool this...I started taping it up like I've seen other guys do it...

then I get to the end and instead of continuing to cut smaller and smaller strips and overlap them, I said "fuck this" and just left it then did the rest when I got to them.

mmm shiny

ok here's my refinishing shit, I used the 60 stuff to remove the paint, it's like this new kind of sandpaper and it fucking rules, seriously use that stuff, after that I used 200 on the neck, I might do some 400 later but this is the neck so it doesn't have to be mirror as I'm oiling it...

workin the neck...

front:

back:

headstock:

bolt joint, I'll probably make it look nicer later, I don't want to sand the "base" too much and make it not-flat because then the joint will suck

body being sanded (haven't finished it yet)...actually I rinsed it and it's wet there

I dried it off a bit (still waiting)

put the two together...

I don't know what I'm going to do with the front of the headstock right now, I'm going to leave the back on though.

Sweet. Looking foward to seeing it finished.

Shawn · 06-01-2007, 11:28 PM

Nicely done. Sanding is a bitch too. You're not going to finish the back and front of the headstock? Lookin' good so far.

This it's going nice, dude!

Tung oil FTW!

D-EJ915 · 06-02-2007, 01:35 AM

After sanding/standing at my utility room sink for like 5 hours I decided to finish it tomorrow

I did sand the neck a bit more and put a coat of the oil on it, it actually has a bit of flame on it

I "sculpted" the heel of the body like a crazy mofo

Anyway, only thing left to sand is to finish in-between the wings, I got the cutout thing already.

Cool

Cant wait to see more pictures

Did you sand that contour in or did it come like that? Then profile on that thing is making me want one.

The V series came with bevels, the inside-the-wings cutout and the tummy cut. The new ones don't have bevels anymore.

That's my type of attitude.

Looking good so far. Did you pick a color for it yet?

D-EJ915 · 06-02-2007, 04:09 PM

well I dunno, I think I might just do black, brown and green, I could do black and grey but that might too plain, you know

Here are some new pics, 1 coat sanded on the headstock and I literally just sprayed the body (damn it took forever and gets heavy as hell)
