got this into the shop tonight.... I love playing with old stuff and making it awesome. it was his first guitar... and after being completely destroyed, he brought it to me for a restore and full out customization. I smoothed out the bend in the body, and smoothed the knee rest for better playability, did a once over and hand smoothed out the entire body. i'll keep you updated. this is up to the gelcoat undercoat.
its a white polly resin.... something we had laying around. I'm using it to re-enforce the body.. prolly wasn't needed. (looks to be the same stuff as this http://www.fibreglass.com/GELCOAT.htm ) the neck is in pretty nasty shape. he said he was going to order in a new one... especially since this will be a full out custom unit. So I can only assume he will get something more expensive...
howcome you dont have the guitar up on the jackstands when working on it? Looking really good by the way!
I am interested to see how it turns out. I am curious as to what color/design you are going to use. I am also curious as to what hardware he is going to use, and how it will play. String thorugh body is sweet, but that bolt on neck might kill the sustain.
