My work is professional...

It's flawless and the clear coat looks like glass...

I've seen your pics...I don't doubt your work. Metallics weren't big until the 60s though...so 'period correctness' is out the window, but who cares about that? I wanna see pics of this!!!

I'll post some fo' sho' !!

I really want the neck to come out great!

I was gonna pay to have it done, but I'm confident I can do what it needs...

The neck feels awesome! Those 50's necks were 100% hand shaped, and you can tell that by looking at this one...

What do you think about all that ??

I think it sounds interesting. I like finishes and paint jobs on axes that reflect one's personality. I painted an old Kramer of mine flourescent orange with flourescent green stripes back in the '80's and it was let's say... Different. However, I got the idea from a cool lookin' skateboard deck and copied it. lol

Also, I think that glitter metalic finish looks cool. Again, I'm bringing up that Buck Owens Sig Model Tele but the glittering finish works just fine. I think Dick Dale's strat looks awesome.

Besides Elvis, it's your axe and you'll put all of the blood and sweat into restoring it.

Definitely sounds cool and don't forhet to post some pics when you get her done.

Didn't Buck have a gold met-finish tele & Don Rich a silver one?

WAY FUCKING COOL paint job

I regret not buying a Gold-Met finish Fernandes Srat back in the day....so COOL
