Are you referring to my "Fred Flintstone" guitar?

Looks WAY better than that ugly blue color IMO.

Yea - I'm thinking of refinishing my other blue 1527 and possibly re-refinishing the 7620.

That looks sweet Pete congrats

I thought basswood looked different then that unpainted for some reason...

 

[PeteLaramee]

Thanks man. This is a little more grainy than most basswood. Sometimes the grain really sticks out.

Looks fantastic Pete!

Mind telling how you stripped it? And have you noticed a tonal difference?

Thanks. I bought a beltsander and went to town. Most of the time was spent on the side edges and inside the horn area where I had to try drill adapters and ended up doing it by hand. I just finished it yesterday. I'm waiting for my wife to leave so I can play LOUD. Then I'll be able to compare it to my stock 1527 for any differences in sound.

Thanks. Yea - This definitely turned out best of the three I've done so far. But I like my Rg550 body with a Jem7d neck too.

Looks great. If you're doing another, I'd do a transblack, kinda smokey lookin' stain then tung oil that

Thanks. I was originally thinking of doing a trans black or even brown, but I didn't know if it'd hide the grain - especially since there isn't a whole lot of obvious grain anyway.
