I posted this a few weeks ago. An RG6721 I picked up on evilbay in America. I think someone described it as, it looked like someone had spewed a curry on it and swirled it around. Well..............

........here it is now. I was going to burn the finish off and repaint it, but I kinda liked how it looked when it was sat there on fire, so that's what I did with it. Scr@ped off all the loose finish, sanded parts of it, then sealed it with a matt finish. I stripped the neck back to bare wood and waxed it up, had a new logo made for the headstock in chrome, then slapped in the new pickups Tim kindly made for me. Sounds awesome!

I was about to say keep the finish, but then I saw what you did to it. Really good job.

The pickups only come in black with 7 string I'm afraid.

But, the brown and green paint shop doesn't ask what you're going to use it on before they sell it to you - means that you can create your own camoness :lol:

The finish looks really cool :twisted:
Too bad there are no 7 string covers !!!
The camo or distressed would look awesome

Nice one - now where were you in the 1970's- dozens of living rooms in the Western Hemisphire could have done with your skills ( and I am sure that there are pockets of present day Australia for that matter )....I expect and deserve flaming from Oz guys so I apologise in advance for cheap jibe.

That looks very cool. Too bad there aren't any covers for 7-string pickups.

Andy Lindsay · « **Reply #12 on:** August 12, 2006, 05:59:58 PM »

Sorry man. The sofa cost me a fortune. It's the none more black model.
