It takes alot of cleaning and rubbing to remove the "LesPaul"
I played with a really low guitar strapHow did you wear away the paint in such a way on the top? What caused it?
Yea. I actually wanted to keep it prestige and after like two gigs someone banged a beer bottle against it. I had to just treat it like a tool from then on.sweat and honest wear ?
It was mostly beer bottles. sowmtimes a girl would lick it. Gross.women throwing their hotel keys at the stage
Yea that’s strange because I never cleaned the headstock. There must be something to that logo that flakes or fades with dirt.It takes alot of cleaning and rubbing to remove the "LesPaul"
Naaw the frets are kind of messed up. I want to have it pleked but they said the first fret may need a refret1200 gigs and the frets look perfect. How about a picture of the rest of the fret board?
You didn’t do what I did.Nope. there is no way my 2005 R8 would have done that.
The finish was way too thick and would have never checked or wore like that.
Where is the serial#? have to say faked and finish stripped.
Cool pics, keep posting man.Live, being cleaned, and my son after he helped solder in a new tone knob!
NAILED IT!I see that !
Yup.You didn’t do what I did.
Even the finish on the older R8/9/0s will eventually check and crack. My 1995 R9 is loaded with weather checking all over the guitar - especially where I made the most contact with it. I don’t think I have any bare wood areas on the guitar with the exception of a tiny chip or two.Nope. there is no way my 2005 R8 would have done that.
