i distressed the last two metal leaf finishes quite a lot.... but decided this time to practice doing a neater version on a cheaper guitar
i picked up a second hand Yamaha RGX-A2 for a decent price and decided it would work well for this

day one:

day two, fills done and some colour variation that should even out as the copper changes colour:



I dont like the overly stiff rotary control and its LED's so had a rethink on the electrics... its getting an N-tune under the volume control and a normal toggle switch for pickup selection. i am also toying with the idea of a couple of mini toggle coil splits/taps (depending on final pickups)
