Hey guys just wondering if there are any recommendations for custom paint jobs for a guitar in Auckland?
I came across this strat-tele guitar on rockshop and it immediately caught my eye. However I don't really dig the sunburst finish it has on the strat part and I don't trust myself enough to complete a partial paint as I do want to keep the tele part's original finish.
Thanks!

Might be a struggle. Don't think you'd be able to only partly refinish a poly guitar, so you'd be in for a complete refinish. The Fret Shop I think offer a refinish for around $800. Or you can do it yourself for a lot less money but a helluva lotta time.

Just put more stickers over the sunburst.

Or chuck it into a dumpster fire

Repaint. As a friend in PR says, you can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter.
