H's LPA-1. How much more black?

That LP is looking really good despite the flaw in the finish, I'd call it custom relicing, I love how the wood grain shows through the body finish, you should record a demo so we can hear how it sounds.


With regards to noise while using high-gain sounds, if it's any consolation, my HotRod Strat gets a bit noisy at high-gain settings too, even though I have put copper shielding tape in the routing, I've even put copper shielding tape in the Tonerider Rocksong Bridge Humbucker pickup too.

Haha, yeah when I first saw the flaw I was thinking about antiquing/relicing/weathering/whatever the guitar, but then I thought "nah, this'll be the one that I leave sitting next to my desk, take out places, play while drinking heavily etc and it'll look worn soon enough".

Speaking of worn guitars, I've got my first real electric guitar still sitting around. It's a yellow yamaha super strat from the '90s and the finish is in fairly poor repair. I've got some ideas about re-doing it in somthing other than bright yellow. Is this an appropriate forum to post a diary/log of refinishing a store-bought guitar, or is there a better one?

Theres a non PBG guitars forum in here: http://www.buildyourownguitar.com.au...splay.php?f=53.

Thats where some interesting non PBG gear gets ripped apart and reconstituted.
