nid2007 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 An already funky '46 J-45 just got a little funkier. I'm not the one that spray painted the thing black though! I had an extra firestripe batwing and couldn't resist. How much damage can I really do to a guitar that came to me looking like this??: Gotta go, the plows finally here!!

suburude63 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Now this is a guitar I would get the top refinished on. John Greven does incredible work of this type in Portland Or. I feel you have absolutly nothing to lose at this point ! Check his web site he does a step by step redo of a top. John is great guy and a great builder of guitars! Especially Gibson styles. http://www.grevenguitars.com/GrevenGuitars.html I love my L00v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nid2007 Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 some day maybe...Thinking Bob Dylan natural top maybe. Right now though, it is fine...so ugly it is cute..like a Pug! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6stringTom Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I'm not a purist about refins as long as the person knows the possible effects on value. After all, it's your guitar. However, if this was spray painted over the original finish, I wonder if it might be possible to strip the paint without significant damage to the original finish.

[/quote'] I paid $1600 for this thing...ugly as hell, but worth every penny in sound. And as Hoss can attest, I know from experience what good '46 should sound like.
