Guitar Refinish!

Post by hazelwould »

Maybe I should post this in the DIY section...

Do you guys have any tips or links on how to refinish a guitar?

I have an SX Tele that plays and sounds pretty good, but is the worst shade of white i've ever seen. I'd like to do an Olive green or Orange color.

I don't really care of the outcome that much. I want it done quickly, cheaply, and look OK.

You could also check some of the guitar/bass boards.
there are a lot of threads over on talk bass in the Luthier's corner forum.

Thanks man!

I wonder what would be the best/ most durable way of painting a pickguard? Maybe spraypaint and then a layer of epoxy?
