Matty1976 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 How is the finish holding up? Is it rubbing off at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waswell Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Beautiful job. Looks like a Bonamassa now :) I own the same guitar and am tempted to perform this operation. How long did it take? Do you do the whole body or just the top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 The black accent pieces with the gold body look spectacular. Great job on the polishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long did it take? Do you do the whole body or just the top? It is a very easy and very fast job, you can make a test on the back of the body .

Revolution Six Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 I like it with the body binding, the clear coats give to the binding a perfect finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01GT eibach Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Any thoughts to giving it some "neck binding" too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolution Six Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 The Les Paul Gold Top is perfect for me, now I have to polish for the last time and I will put a set of Custom pickup rings. I use Dimarzio HB rings, they have same height than Gibson Custom Shop M69 rings and price is very soft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolution Six Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 :eek2: My mind is BLOWN! You just turned a budget Gibson into a fully blown, amazing custom.
