Do you have a punch-in tool or solder?
Solder. We have the punch-in tools at work, but I decided to try the masochistic way.

Oh. I feels you, man.

Is this possibly the worst ever guitar mod idea????

Great for that glassy clean Fender tone.

I'd love to see how they remove those frets... basically a throw away neck right?

I got to work and true bypassed my new Whammy. Not because I desperately needed too, but more because I love a project and it’s more fun than watching tv.

Chuffed with a nice neat job, almost looks stock and wiring is tidy and should be reliable

The Vester refinishing goes well. Not bad at all for a couple of rattle cans. I've learned the wet sanding stage will make or break the finish.

The Jackson refinish goes well. This is Sherwood Green from Duplicolor. It's a touch up paint for car bodywork but the fan tip makes it really good for spraying guitars. After a week I'll clearcoat it and then wet sand.

Did you strip and primer it or just sand back a bit and spray over the top?

Both and neither. I sanded back the existing finish with 600, then primed that, then sprayed. If the finish was in better shape I wouldn't have needed to prime but alas.

There's really no point in stripping a finish back to bare wood.

Check out Brad Angove on YouTube. His whole channel is devoted to rattle can finishing guitars.

Finally getting some decent weather!

So I went to upholster the speaker cab but my compressor is dead

So I'll grab some ados tomorrow but at least got a bit of work on these two done.

Frame on the right is going on castors and is for pedal board (top) , Amp head (middle) and speaker cab (bottom) so I can move my gear around easy and then push out of the way to keep things tidy.
