You're shooting for a uniform black finish at this point. If that's the case, I would mask off the inlays the best I could, recoat it with black, and then take an x-acto to scrape the edges of the inlays. From the pics, it looks like some of the black has been sanded off exposing the bare wood in places. Now, the headstock looks like more of a challenge. There are several websites dedicated to guitar finishing such as guitarreranch. Aside from those Gotohs, What's wrong with the looks of it like it is? You could just shoot a few coats of clear nitro over it, fine sanding between each coat. On the other hand, nitro over poly shouldn't cause any issues, but I digress. Nitro will expand and contract with the temps and humidity. If there's any nitro left on the body, I would be very wary putting poly over it. Sure looks like there is a finish on that body. If you don't post pics of the process we'll find you and steal the guitar. Obviously a is the simplest, b is tricky and c is really a sh!t option if you want a pearloid logo. If not black then your options are a) new overlay b) masking and spraying black. Try sanding it proper and put a drop of water on it to see what color it turns. I'ts most likely a plastic overlay that they sanded. (opinion) If you don't like the result then sand it with some fine grain or one of those sanding things that are like a scotch brite without the sponge, the red one I believe.į) Yes, it looks like sh!t. (I did.had to take it off again)Į) No, that will look silly. I've used both but make sure you don't end up with the kind that feels rubbery. Welcome! If your dad used to paint cars this should be the smoothest paint job in history.Ĭ) Yes, in any case it won't hurt and you'll be sorry if you discover you should haveĭ) Optional. the headstock looks like it’s been poorly sanded think I can polish this back to its original shine? should I “finish” the neck in TruOil or something? since this would have had grain filler at the factory do we need to do it again? paint recommendations available in Canada? Would either of these (Poly or acrylic) be good options for an opaque high gloss finish? I don’t think he’s ever worked with nitro, more poly and acrylic. He used to paint cars for a living and has the air compressor and spray gun equipment. I’m going to get my Dad to help me paint. My plan is bring it back to its original ebony black finish on the body and leave the neck unfinished. I’m hoping this forum can offer an SG specific opinion. I’ve been doing my research but there are so many conflicting opinions on this stuff. The previous owner has completely stripped and sanded it but never got around to repainting it. Hey all I’m refinishing an ‘05 SG STANDARD.
