1982 S-500

Post by Kodor »

Restoration of my 1982 S-500. Someone had removed the crinkle-coat from the pickguard and rattlecanned it copper. It was missing the wang bar and knobs and backplate. Jaystrings gave me F-100 knobs and a backplate. I re-crinkled the pickguard, refret with Dunlop Jumbos, and added a new wang bar from Gabe.

Thanks! Fortunately I was able to strip the paint off...and I found a powder coating place that had the exact powder coat that G&L used...and only charged me $25 or $30!
