Re: How hard is it to paint a guitar with poly?

DHL have fucked this. Supposed to be next day delivery. Now two days late with no update on what's going on and it's impossible to contact a human at DHL. The online contacts just provide an auto response saying they'll look into it.

Re: How hard is it to paint a guitar with poly?

Worst case scenario is that I do a shit enough job that I just strip th paint and redo a clear coat with a new decal. Honestly, probably the hardest part will be getting the motivation to start.

SQUIER FSR CV LATE '60S JAZZ BASS MODS

Everyone seems to use nitro. I'm thinking of getting an LPB guitar and painting a matching headstock on it. But, since the body will be painted with poly, it seems like would make sense to paint the headstock poly also.

'50s LP Jr in (almost) totally fucked condition

This is a pretty cool find. Assuming it's genuine.

I'm actually more interested in how it will turn out after restoration.

It had been sprayed in blue/green/purple flip paint before I bought it. I modded it more. Bridge changed to a non-trem Strat type. Standard fu...
