picked this one up a few weeks ago for 10 euro only body, neck and bridge.

was al painted black luckely that paint was easy to remove with paintthinner, after that this was the result.

i wonder what kind of moron paints a guitar with wood like this black :confused: .

after removing the paint only polishing it with commandant was enough to give it a shine again.

thank god for the lazy fucker who painted this thing without sanding first.

ordered some parts, the last of it, the tuners, finally arived today i finally could finish this one.

it's a great player and those cheapo pu's aren't that bad at all, at least way better that i expected for 17,50 euro each.

this is a guitar how more i look at it the more i like it.

to be honest on the back the black paint was worn of at some places, so i knew what to expect.

my biggest fear was that he was sanded thourogly before paining ,what ruins the original clearcoat ,luckely they didn't sanded at all, that's why it came out in such a condition.

I bought that exact guitar when I was in high school and I still have it. And guess what... I painted it! Yep, I'm a moron. But what do you expect out of some hot-shot wanna-be listening to Priest, Ozzy and VH! I painted it midnight blue with a spider web.

 

That guitar served me well for several years. I think it was a Vantage 350 or something like that. When I bought my Hamer, I put it away and rarely played it, but I've managed to lug it around and keep it. It had a chunky neck compared to most guitars I've bought since then. At the time, it was so cool.

Yum, Yum! Eat em up!
