LOL, close but I wasn't happy with the results of the buffing, so on to stage 2I'll bite....you are going to buff up the finish? BTW I thought that guitar was terrific to play and sounded great.
Darcy Thompson.Who is doing the work Dave?
This all started a month or so ago thanks to a trade with @sorbz62 . The guitar was "well played", had faded to a flat black, and had a few bumps and bruises. Nothing dramatic but when I played it, and loved it, OCD started to kick in. I've always loved Pelham Blue (in all of it's many shades) so thought I'd try it on this. When I went out to see Darcy he just mixed up a colour on the spot that I really liked so away we goWhen did all this start and who put their name on an ibanez AX?
LOL, I knew this would make your head spinNooooooo! Should have left it classic!!!!
That looks badass! What a transformation. Did you keep the same electronics?LOL, I knew this would make your head spinBut even the man himself likes blue.

LOL, sorry, NOT MINE. I was just pointing out to @sorbz62 that Mr. Smith himself seemed to like the colour. That's a new of the shelf job, not sure how close my blue will be to that, I suspect a little more like the SG above but until I see it on the guitar who knows.That looks badass!

Well done Sir.

Growing up in the UK, those Gordon Smith guitars were always very well regarded. Looing foward to seeing how your guitar turns out - a great vehicle to start with.
