harmonicchaos Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I just wanted to know if anyone would ever be interested in paying for a refinish or some other form of refurbishing/customization (as long as the results were good of course). I'm still going to refinish my guitar plus a few other customizations. If that turns out well, then I'm thinking about starting a little business customizing, refinishing, and installing certain after-market parts on guitars, basses and the like. So, if the results were top-quality and reasonably priced, would anyone ever be interested? Just thought I'd shoot the question out there to see if it'd be something that musicians would be interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swmcv2007 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Definitely. I want it done to an LP Studio but I can't paint or carve or anything. Keep us posted on your guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murph Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 You are a talented artist, I've heard. I would think there would be a market for your skills. As for me, I would never have use for your work but don't even consider that. I play bars in a 200 mile circle and wear guitars out to the point of replacing them. I could care less what they look like. But, there are collectors who would be very interested, I'm sure. I think, with your obvious skills, I would tiptoe in. Maybe buy a faded Les Paul, used. Strip it down, do your artistic deed, maybe put in a few '57 Classics and slap it up here for sale. You might be surprised to find Axe, Thunder, California, KSG, Homz, Tim, myself, and others bidding that puppy up to a nice profit. Best of luck to you. Murph.

harmonicchaos Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Awesome! I've been thinking about getting a summer job (fast food probably being the only option). But I figure why do something like that when I could do something I love? I love the thought of being able to fuse my two greatest loves: music and art. I'd do some standard finishes as well as more artistic or design fueled pieces. I'm pretty sure I'm going to put new inlays in my lp as well so that could be an additional service I could provide. Eventually I'd like to learn how to be a tech. That way I could do complete professional setups as well. I'll take one step at a time right now though.

harmonicchaos Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 murphs main axe back up The second axe is my specialty paint job. The purple paint is made of crushed amethyst and the lighter parts have essence of Hannah Montana hair... VERY expensive. It is a very complex painting technique as well. It really is hard to make wood look, sound and feel like genuine plastic! You have some nice taste Murph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
