New used guitar today (over a year ago )

Over a year ago, I bought a 1982 Charvel from Wayne (Wayniac). The guitar had seen a life of refinishes, conversions and what not of poor work. At first I thought I would just leave it and rock it, but a refret started it all...

I finally got back together today, and I could not have done this without the help Mike (XSSIVE), Wayne (Wayniac), Marty Bell, Jim Shine, Scott (Wattage).

What it looked like when I got it.

Various repairs needed...

Back from paint...

Together...

Thanks to all that helped on this!

Written in the neck pocket was "trans blue" and you could see a bit of the original finish in the cavities. I went with my best guess at the original color.

Many hours in this one, but I am quite pleased with how it turned out.
