Matching headstock + Maple = Cant lose

If you were desperate, you could always use a sharpie.

I say refinish it. Along the lines of what Mike said, it's not like it came naturally, it's a finish flaw. You've got the know how, do it rite.

I'm thinking im going to take the rob OG punk rock route and try to squeeze the paint out of that last can of fiesta red. i think we can pull it off.

i think i read somewhere about drop-filling. never tried it though. i think the idea is to just drop big blobs on scratches, dings, or dents and then wetsand them smooth.
might work better than spraying if your can is nearly empty.

ohhh maaan.. its done!!

vintage tint + glossy neck!!

still need a decal and trim the strings some

Ive got brass.....

Had to work a bit with the neck pocket but managed to work good.

Thanks to everyone who helped out. I managed to get the scratch off somewhat, but at least it's painted over

see the difference? It sort of eases in with the matching headstock now. That was actually a 51 neck that I reshaped the profile somewhat on. I really love it more than the real telecaster neck that I have.

It looks so much better now. it was way more stark before.

You are welcome on the help. It was a please to work on suck a cool guitar! (even if the neck plate goes over the the binding)

Sorry I missed your call last night. I'll call you this evening.

You know what?

In your position I really wouldn't go around dissing other people's work, considering NoHo has a pretty appalling record in the business you've done with people on these boards.

Fiesta Red Esquire
